Turns out the string I was using to denote a successful model advance was not
sufficient.  If the log file has a phrase like 
"Blowing-up: Saving latest model state into  RESTART file"
the model did not complete successfully, even though the log file ends:
"ROMS/TOMS: DONE"

I turned off the prior state-space inflation in the input.nml.template file.
This was causing our test case (with a not-very-realistic observation sequence file)
to blow up in the 4th cycle. Compounded by the script not 
detecting the failed model advance, DART was failing with a really misleading 
error message.
