Attempting to convert a grib1 dataset to NetCDF using
NetCDF-Java-4.3beta results in the following traceback.  Any ideas?

~JAVA/jre1.6.0_31/bin/java -Xmx512m
-classpath 
/gpfsm/dnb52/projects/p10/dkokron/play/NetCDF-Java-4.3b/netcdfAll-4.3.jar 
ucar.nc2.dataset.NetcdfDataset -in ecmwf_yotc.ana.eta.D91.20090916_00z.grib 
-out ecmwf_yotc.ana.eta.D91.20090916_00z.grib.nc43

Some environment settings
echo $JAVA_BINDIR
/gpfsm/dnb52/projects/p10/dkokron/play/JAVA/jre1.6.0_31/bin
dali05.dkokron 272> echo $JAVA_HOME
/gpfsm/dnb52/projects/p10/dkokron/play/JAVA/jre1.6.0_31
dali05.dkokron 273> echo $JAVA_ROOT
/gpfsm/dnb52/projects/p10/dkokron/play/JAVA/jre1.6.0_31

The corresponding task using
toolsUI-4.0.jar ucar.nc2.iosp.grib.Grib2Netcdf
works fine.
