How to add a new namelist to CESM1_2_0

[songfengfei@lasg_iap_ac_cn]

I am running cesm1_2_0 and want to add a new namelist to pop2_in, but I can't add it. As the tutorial says, if we add a new namelist variable to the existing namelist, the best way is using user_nl_pop2. However, how to add a new namelist and define some new variables in the new namelist. Finally, I find a way to do this: I copy a build_namelist and namelist_definition_pop2.xml to src.pop2 and add the new namelist in these two files. It is okay to build and run but some errors appear as following:
build-namelist - ERROR: No default value found for sstf_file_name
user defined attributes:
Died at /WORK/home/LASG30/songfengfei/cesm_script/hist1_ep_5yr/SourceMods/src.pop2/build-namelist line 1875.
ERROR: pop2.buildnml.csh failed
ERROR: /WORK/home/LASG30/songfengfei/cesm_script/hist1_ep_5yr/preview_namelists failed: 25344

Are these warnings of vital? Do you have a betetr way to add a new namelist in the cesm1_2_0.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I think that this is more of a general CESM scripts question, so I have moved it to the CESM forums.I'm not positive how the POP build-namelist works, but I think that, if you are defining entirely new namelist variables, you are probably better making a copy of the source code tree and modifying that code, rather than putting the modifications in SourceMods.
