Problem with Simple Animation

I am trying to follow the pattern shown in SimpleAnimation.java to create an animated display of my own data set, but I appear to be making a subtle mistake in setting up my data structures. 

Basically, I create two 2D FieldImpl's mapping ( (lat, lon) -> temp) ), then
create a new FieldImpl mapping (time -> ( (lat, lon) -> temp) ). I use the setSample method to make my first 2D field correspond to time 0, and the second to time 1. Then I animate the result, and turn on stepping ( I think).
The first frame displays properly, and the legend in the lower right hand corner says 1 of 2, but the second frame doesn't ever appear.
Code is below: if anyone sees whatever obvious thing it is I've missed I'd appreciate it.
