Your input file name suggests that it is daily data.
However, clmMonTLL expects an input file with monthly data,
and a time dimension (number of months) that is a multiple of 12:

You can try first to calculate monthly values from the daily input using
calculate_monthly_values:
https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/calculate_monthly_values.shtml
But you need to make sure that your input (daily data) has a time dimension
with a recognized
calendar (I guess it would be gregorian).
A "ncdump -h " of your input file should tell.
