POP aborting... could not find field in binary header file

Hello,I used CESM1.2.0. The case's compset is BC5 and I built it successfully. But failed in qsub ./case.run.

What's the problem?

It looks like you are using a binary restart file rather than a netcdf format one.    There should be a cooresponding header file called b40_1850_c02c_76jpf.pop.r.0221-01-01-00000.hdr
 
Thank you for replying!But I checked my input file, and found that the file b40_1850_c02c_76jpf.pop.r.0221-01-01-00000.hdr do exist.Still don't know what's going on...  
 
Another question,  I want to create a case with CAM5 coupled with fixed the Sea surface temperature(SST) but have no idea how to.What kind of compsets should I choose?Thank you so much!
