DEFINEQFLUX - Please help!

Hi,

I am trying to prepare my SOM dataset and I'm running into problems when I run the defineqflux utility. Here is the end of my output:

Using SST mid-months 11 and 1 to compute QFLUX mid-month 0
dayfact=62

nc_put_vara_double -1 failure: Variable not found
Abort (core dumped)

I already went through the definemld1x1 and definemldbdy commands to add the MLDANN field to the sst file. I just used the sst file provided in the source code (sst_HadOIBl_bc_64x128_clim_c020411.nc). Is this okay to use?

I made sure my control files have the OI variables but perhaps it is missing something (hopefully not!). I looked at the sst file after running the defineqflux command and it has data for fnet but nothing for qflux. I found in the description of the ocean q flux it says:
Q = Q_{ocean} - Q_{ice} - F_{net}
where it looks like Q(ocean) and Q(ice) are calculated. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance for your help.
