You need set the following in the respective resources list:

res at gsnDraw              = False             ; do not draw the plot
res at gsnFrame             = False             ; do not advance the frame


res_z at gsnDraw              = False             ; do not draw the plot
res_z at gsnFrame             = False             ; do not advance the frame
