Hi Peter
Sorry I should have clarified earlier. You will not get this problem from
any of the files downloaded from the public site. We are facing this error
for the files that are being generated for the upcoming Collection 6
product of MODIS. I had sent a ftp link to Barbara from your organization
earlier to download one such file. I am forwarding the same link to you as
well:


*You have 10 days from 03-19-2013 to download the file(s) from the
following URL:*

*https://webdrive.gsfc.nasa.gov/shortauth/sudipta.sarkar/gz005oC*

*Please use the following to login:*

*username = barbara_hdf
password = hdfmodis*

If you download the file from this link, you should get the hrepack error
that I mentioned earlier.
Let me know if  you face any problem in downloading the file.
Thanks
