I am attempting to run WRF with a perturbed wrfinput file that was generated by da_wrfvar in the WRFDA suite. Both WRF and WRFDA are version 4.6.1, downloaded and compiled from the GitHub repository, but I receive the following error when running wrf.exe:
DYNAMICS OPTION: Eulerian Mass Coordinate

Input data is acceptable to use: wrfinput_d01

Timing for processing wrfinput file (stream 0) for domain 1: 1.29903 elapsed seconds
Max map factor in domain 1 = 1.08. Scale the dt in the model accordingly.

I also confirmed that the input file (wrfinput_d01) used version 4.6.1 from the metadata:
:TITLE = " OUTPUT FROM WRFDA V4.6.1" ;
Other forum posts and online resources suggest you need to change two namelist options: force_use_old_data = T. or use_theta_m = 0 to set the simulation to use dry theta. Neither of these solutions seemed to work.
When I change the use_theta_m flag in the dynamics namelist, I receive the error:

I'm unsure how to resolve this issue since I am using the same version of WRFDA as WRF, so there "shouldn't" be any WRFv3 data being used (unless I am misinterpreting where the v3 data resides in the input file). Is it possible that my issue is in the met_em data since the simulation is for a case study in 1999?
I've included my two rsl.out files and the namelist also included for reference
