[Met_help] Running point stat

[John Halley Gotway]

Kemal,

Good news.  I found the problem.  It's just a typo in the message type that you're using for your point observations.  You're using "APSFC" as the message type, when it should be "ADPSFC".  Try
correcting that typo and rerunning.  Hopefully that'll fix the problem.
