that should be right, it's the L3m SMI/HDF download, not the
BIN/HDF one.

I'm working with this data reasonably often and I've never seen
that error, sorry. As the error is coming from GDAL maybe ask
on their mailing list? maybe someone there has a better idea.
I'm going to process some new chlorophyll-a modis data in the
next week, I'll let you know if I run into the same problem.

good luck,
Hamish

ps- it defaults to 9km, but on the ocean color website you can
tell it to download the 4km resolution too :) (but I usually get
the much smaller 9km data first and check for cloud cover, etc)
