[MITgcm-support] joinmds: meta file format error

[mdunphy at uwaterloo.ca]

Hi,

I'm using MITgcm and am having some difficulty with the joinmds  
script.  I have a 60-processor job, and when attempting to join, it  
gives this error:

> joinmds Eta 0000000000
Name "main::nrecords" used only once: possible typo at joinmds line 182.
There are 60 datasets.
./Eta.0000000000.001.001.meta: meta file format error


The contents of the .meta file is:
> cat Eta.0000000000.001.001.meta
  nDims = [   2 ];
  dimList = [
    480,    1,   40,
    240,    1,   48
  ];
  dataprec = [ 'float32' ];
  nrecords = [     1 ];
  timeStepNumber = [          0 ];

Also, perl version is:
>> This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

I don't understand how line 180 works, so I'm not sure what it's  
expecting to find in the .meta file.  Is there an easy fix for this?

Cheers,

Michael
