Key error when using vic2netcdf

[jschap1]

I would like to use tonic to convert some VIC outputs from ASCII to NetCDF format, but when I run ./vic_utils vic2netcdf config_file.cfg, I get the following key error:

KeyError: 'Precipitation'

I am confused because it looks like "Precipitation" is in fact in the "fields" dictionary. Any ideas why this error is occurring? tonic reports the configuration options like this:
