Bill,

Your listing shows that there you are using an older version of the
FO14 schema in decoding the FOUS14 data.  The correct unit for dates
in the CCYYDDD format is CYD.  SYD was the unit for dates in the ssYYDDD
format.

You should have Mark make sure that the copy of SCHEMA that came with 
Unidata McIDAS-X 7.60 is the one being used by the XCD decoders.
The most typical setup for this would be for the SCHEMA file to be
located in the directory in which the XCD decoders produces its output
files.

After the correct FO14 schema is put in the output data directory, it
will take until a new file is created before you see the listing
change from having SYD units for day parameters to CYD.
