WRFDA with himawari radiance

Hello,

I am trying to run da with himawari radiance.
I convert himawari hsd data to netcdf using cspp_geocat software and renamed the output geocatL1.HIMAWARI-9.2023231.060000.FLDK.R20.nc L1AHITBR and geocatL2.HIMAWARI-9.2023231.060000.FLDK.R20.nc one L2AHICLP.
Here some part of my namelist.input file:
&wrfvar4
use_ahiobs = true,
&wrfvar14
rtminit_nsensor=1,
rtminit_platform=31,
rtminit_satid=8,
rtminit_sensor=56,
thinning_mesh=60,
thinning=false,
qc_rad=true,
write_iv_rad_ascii=false,
write_oa_rad_ascii=true,
rtm_option=2,
only_sea_rad=false,
use_varbc=false
crtm_coef_path="crtm_coeffs_2.3.0/"

ahi_info is there, and radiance_info directory too.

Here is the errors I am having while trying to run wrfda:

I looked at the netcdf files generated by geocat, they seem all right.
For example if I display L1AHITBR file with python I see:

Looks all right to me.

Any clues where the error could be?

Best regards
