Yes, that's the problem. Use this for time_samples:

  FunctionType time_samples
    new FunctionType(time_type, new SetType(xyz));

Then:

  sequence.setSample(0,gsp[0]);

should work. Of course, you'll want to call it 'ntimes1'
times with something like:

  for (int i=0; i<ntimes1; i++) {
    . . .
    gsp[i] = new Gridded3DSet(...)
    sequence.setSample(i ,gsp[i]);
  }

Good luck,
Bill
