david,
this looks like your compiler supports only a specific format
of namelists, that is different from what the more frequently
used compilers implement. what compiler/platform are you running on?

the example scripts are regularly tested on a significant number of
platforms. 

a second possibility is that you have something that creates additional
output in the heredocs generated by the script. please have a look at
the *.in files in the results directory and see, if there is something 
odd, e.g. where the original script had a variable.


cheers,
   axel.
