Hi Bart,
I see why those rsl files aren't very helpful.
If the problem isn't with your namelist, I'm not sure what would be causing the problem. I've posted a few links below of other users that have had the same problem. Some of them say that they matched their namelist line by line with the template provided on the tutorial website. The only suggestion that I have left would be to try and match relevant lines with either the template provided on the WRF users page or to create another namelist while going through the process of using the WRF domain wizard.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
the rsl files are attached. I was using only 1 core for these, but the error occurs for larger core counts as well.
Thanks,
Bart

The way I understand the restart variable is that it generates a wrfrst file at the end of each interval specified in the namelist. That is, your restart interval is 18000 seconds, meaning that after 5 minutes from your start time, a restart file is generated. As your namelist sits now, you're trying to use a restart file that has no data for the 5 minute period you're trying to model, but has data for the next 5 minute period (assuming that the wrfrst file came from another run with the same start and end date).
