continue run fails after successful branch run

Hello,

I am having an issue with CONTINUE_RUN in CESM1.2.0. I successfully completed a branch run and then set CONTINUE_RUN = TRUE and RESUBMIT = 5 in env_run.xml. However, ./preview_namelists is now failing with the following error:

ERROR(Build::Namelist::_parse_next): expect a equal '=' sign instead got: .e12.B1850C5.f09_g16.stable_T2K.001.rtm.r.0635-01-01-00000.nc
ERROR: rtm.buildnml.csh failed
ERROR from preview namelist - EXITING


The branch run successfully ran for 5 years starting at year 0635, so the current restart files in the run directory corresponds to year 0640. However, based on my understanding of the error message above, the run seems to be failing because it is looking for rtm restart files corresponding to year 0635 (when I branched the run), rather than the most recent completed year.

I also checked the run directory for my case called "
b.e12.B1850C5.f09_g16.stable_T2K.001" and rpointer.rof contains the following text:

./b.e12.B1850C5.f09_g16.stable_T2K.001.rtm.r.0640-01-01-00000.nc

Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

Thanks!
