Thank you all for your replies,

	First think i checked of course, was all fine.

	Our data.exf was showing seasonal forcing ( 7884000.0) So i think we  
should be fine, right?

	^&($&(%$(&#$@$%, i should twist Bill's neck.

	But even fixing the OBCS_PARM01, now:

	 &OBCS_PARM01
  	OB_Jsouth=400*1,
	OB_Ieast=801*400,

	I still get the same problems. Eg:
