A basic change in CO2 concentrations... doesn't work

Hello,
I'm working with CESM for the first time, and i 'm using a local machine (configurated... it's ok)I want to do a simple change in CO2 concentration (4 times from the beginning), and my steps are these1) create new case2) setup3) ./xmlchange CCSM_CO2_PPMV=1440.0I read before (in tutorialS... from the CESM page, the manual, etc) that it's correct to do that, as well as change it in the user_cam_nl.Again, I don't want to make this change "RAMPED" in time. So, I won't make a change in the "scenario_ghg", because a prescribed concentration in 4 times is the purpose.4) change nyears, nstop, S_DOUT, etc5) ./preview_namelists6) build7) run My outputs are really strange, because I have proven more than 2 compset and i don't  see any differences in the Atmospheric Temperature (low levels) during 20 years.Am i making somthing wrong?
Are compsets F-AQUAP (with fixed SST in the AQUAPLANET) too slow to respond to 4xCO2 forcing?
I feel confused. the atm_in file says that co2_vmr = 1440.0e-6 Regards

If you are using a F compset, you have fixed SSTs. They won't change when you are doing 4xCO2.
