Jimmy,

sfcfil (the subject of your message) create an empty gempak file. 

Once you have the empty GEMPAK ship file, you can run sfedit on a
data set that follows the format of SFLIST.

The data file you enclosed does not follow the sflist format. In particular,
the data lines should look like:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/tutorial/data/astex_1.dat

your file is incorrectly laid out (eg, the station ID does not
come first followed by the gemtime. Also, I believe that you will 
need to change the text to uppercase including the station id's
(you can do this quickly with the "tr" unix command to replace [a-z] with
[A-Z].
