POP aborting in first few seconds of BHISTcmip6 simulation

I am running a BHISTcmip6 compset in CESM2.1.3, beginning in the year 1970. I get the error:
POP aborting...
Error in getting varid for netCDF field CFC11_CUR

As suggested in another discussion, I have defined the following xml variables:
(1) CCSM_BGC=CO2A
(2) OCN_CHL_TYPE=diagnostic
(3) OCN_CO2_TYPE=diagnostic

I have also set MODEL_START_DATE to 1970-01-01, and RUN_REFDATE to 1970-01-01.

I use the restart files located here on NCAR Derecho: /glade/campaign/cesm/cesmdata/inputdata/cesm2_init/b.e21.BHIST.f09_g17.CMIP6-historical.001/1970-01-01

For the purposes of my simulation, I am actually not interested in the biogeochemistry or tracers, nor am I attached to those particular restart files (as long as they are representative of the year 1970, I'm not sure the other details matter). The objective is simply to run CESM2 with prescribed external forcings characteristic of historical forcings beginning in 1970 and continuing through 2015, hence the use of the BHISTcmip6 compset.

How can I run a BHISTcmip6 simulation in CESM2.1.3, beginning in the year 1970?
