Ok, that at least tells us it's not a problem with the filter that's looking
for just the star particles.  Can you run this script:
http://paste.enzotools.org/show/1704/
on your data, pipe the output to a file and send that back?  Just give the
path to your dataset on the command line.  This should check to see if there
are any inconsistencies in the grid dx's and positions.
