A fair fraction of the data files (/scratch/users/u26792/N512L30/OUTPUT/MOVIEDATA/movie3d*.*) appear to be corrupt.

They should contain

  {recordlength(=24)} {zr} {omega0} {flam0} {rho0b} {h} {boxL0} {recordlength=24}
  {recordlength(=2097152)} 128*128*128=2097152 bytes of data ... {recordlength=2097152}

Most do have that form. But quite a few -- including most of the "rhob" files for times 101, 201, ..., 651, and all of the files for timestep 403, and many others -- have part of their first block zeroed out.

In fact, of the 3192 files of this type (399 timesteps * 8 data fields), fully 621 of them were corrupt in this way.

Here's a dump of the first part of an intact file:

For comparison, here's a sample of a corrupt file. Note that the first record, with zr, ..., boxL0 are intact. But the remainder of the first 4096-byte block, including the "2097152" Fortran record header, are all zeros. Data from byte 4096 onward do seem to exist though.
