Hi Phillip,
can I add those datasets to yt's testing suite? That mandates having
them publicly available at http://yt-project.org/data/

I've also opened PR 2421 [1] that hopefully will fix the issue you're
seeing.

Cheers,
Kacper

where in line 99ff the block dimensions are read. But this part of the
code is not executed (checked with print statements in iyt). Loading the
hdf5 file with h5py and using the code in line 104 gives me the correct
numbers, but I guess yt reads the data from somewhere else?
