some problems about SCRIP

Hi,I use the SCRIP tool to make the weight file, and it is ok.  But when I use my weight file to convert POP output data to rectilinear lat/lon grids, I find that my rectilinear data does not contain a valid latitude/longitude coordinate array.
It only has some Latitude/Longitude index, which is integer.  It is as following, (my own file:: map_gx3v7_to_1x1d_bilin_da_130318.nc,   gx3v7==>1x1d)
========================BEGIN 1============================================
netcdf b.e10.B1850CN.T31_g37.001.pop.h.gx3v7_to_1x1d.bilin.3050 {
dimensions:
        time = UNLIMITED ; // (1 currently)
        Y = 180 ;
        X = 360 ;
        z_t = 60 ;
        z_w_top = 60 ;
variables:
        double time(time) ;
                time:calendar = "noleap" ;
                time:bounds = "time_bound" ;
                time:units = "days since 0000-01-01 00:00:00" ;
                time:long_name = "time" ;
        float z_t(z_t) ;
                z_t:valid_max = 537500.f ;
                z_t:valid_min = 500.f ;
                z_t:positive = "down" ;
                z_t:units = "centimeters" ;
                z_t:long_name = "depth from surface to midpoint of layer" ;
        int Y(Y) ;
                Y:long_name = "Latitude index" ;
        int X(X) ;
                X:long_name = "Longitude index" ;
        float TEMP(time, z_t, Y, X) ;
                TEMP:spatial_op = "Bilinear remapping: 1st order: destarea: NCL: ./map_gx3v7_to_1x1d_bilin_da_130318.nc" ;
                TEMP:missing_value = 9.96921e+36f ;
                TEMP:cell_methods = "time: mean" ;
                TEMP:grid_loc = "3111" ;
                TEMP:coordinates = "TLONG TLAT z_t time" ;
                TEMP:units = "degC" ;
                TEMP:long_name = "Potential Temperature" ;
                TEMP:_FillValue = 9.96921e+36f ;and so on.......................

If  I use the official weight file(i.e,map_gx3v7_to_1x1d_bilin_da_100928.nc), the result looks well.
For example: gx3v7==>1x1d
========================BEGIN 2============================================
netcdf b.e10.B1850CN.T31_g37.001.pop.h.example.regrid {
dimensions:
        time = UNLIMITED ; // (1 currently)
        z_t = 60 ;
        lat = 180 ;
        lon = 360 ;
variables:
        double time(time) ;
                time:long_name = "time" ;
                time:units = "days since 0000-01-01 00:00:00" ;
                time:bounds = "time_bound" ;
                time:calendar = "noleap" ;
        float z_t(z_t) ;
                z_t:long_name = "depth from surface to midpoint of layer" ;
                z_t:units = "centimeters" ;
                z_t:positive = "down" ;
                z_t:valid_min = 500.f ;
                z_t:valid_max = 537500.f ;
        float lat(lat) ;
                lat:long_name = "latitude" ;
                lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
        float lon(lon) ;
                lon:long_name = "longitude" ;
                lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
        float TEMP(time, z_t, lat, lon) ;
                TEMP:_FillValue = 9.96921e+36f ;
                TEMP:long_name = "Potential Temperature" ;
                TEMP:units = "degC" ;
                TEMP:coordinates = "TLONG TLAT z_t time" ;
                TEMP:grid_loc = "3111" ;
                TEMP:cell_methods = "time: mean" ;
                TEMP:missing_value = 9.96921e+36f ;
                TEMP:spatial_op = "Bilinear remapping: 1st order: destarea: NCL: ./map_gx3v7_to_1x1d_bilin_da_100928.nc" ;

and so on.......................

So when I use NCL, it has some errors :
========================BEGIN 3============================================
(0)     
(0)    check_for_y_lat_coord: Warning: Data either does not contain a valid latitude coordinate array or doesn't contain one at all.
(0)    A valid latitude coordinate array should have a 'units' attribute equal to one of the following values:
(0)        'degrees_north' 'degrees-north' 'degree_north' 'degrees north' 'degrees_N' 'Degrees_north' 'degree_N' 'degreeN' 'degreesN' 'deg north'
(0)    check_for_lon_coord: Warning: Data either does not contain a valid longitude coordinate array or doesn't contain one at all.
(0)    A valid longitude coordinate array should have a 'units' attribute equal to one of the following values:
(0)        'degrees_east' 'degrees-east' 'degree_east' 'degrees east' 'degrees_E' 'Degrees_east' 'degree_E' 'degreeE' 'degreesE' 'deg east'

==========================END 3=========================================


So why my weight file is not correct?
Below is my "scrip_in" file, and grid1_file and grid2_file are made by "convertPOPT.f" and "create_latlon.f" separately.
