The GRIB file is corrupted. When you look at it with 'wgrib' you'll
see why:

% wgrib hirham_test.grb
1:0:d=-41120200:GP:kpds5=6:kpds6=100:kpds7=100:TR=1:P1=6:P2=0:TimeU=1:10
0 mb:6hr fcst:NAve=1

Note the third field, 'd=-41120200'

This is the file valid time, of the form YYMMHHDD. The date in your
file indicates the year is '-41' which is clearly incorrect,
hence the fatal error message from PyNio
