CAM 5 run error

[amurthi@ucsd_edu]

Hi,
I'm trying to run CAM 5 the standalone version on bluefire and was using the default run script 'run-ibm.csh' and it ran perfectly for a period of 30 days. I used the default parameters:
stop_option='ndays' and stop_n=30
But when I specify specific start and end dates in my script such as start date start_ymd=20000101 and stop_ymd=20001231, it throws me an error when I try to build the namelist:
ERROR:Build-namelist failed No default values found for ncdata. I guess the value of start_ymd is used to match the ic_ymd attribute of the default ncdata files. Can I override this some how ?
Thanks.

You are correct that by default the value of start_ymd is use to match the ic_ymd attribute in the namelist_defaults_cam.xml file. build-namelist has two override mechanisms. If you specify the -ignore_ic_year argument then the month and day part of start_ymd will be used to match the month and day part of ic_ymd. If you specify -ignore_ic_date then the ic_ymd attribute is completely ignored when looking for defaults.
