[wrfems] ems_prep fail using 3.2.1.5.34.beta release

[Barrett Smith]

Bob and/or list,

Testing with what believe is the most recent beat release, we get the 
error below when ems_prep fails.  It seems odd that  an extra "grb1" is 
appended to the grib files when they are converted from grib2 to grib1, 
but it's not clear whether or not that is the issue.

  We've installed the Prep_util.pm file that Bob sent out a while back, 
but even with that my understanding was that the prep routine was just 
trying to download data repeatedly, not convert it??

Thanks for any help!
Barrett
