Again, I'm not sure what the details are here, but this is probably wrong. You probably want to either do

        rh = T;

or do

        Interval<1> I = rh.totalDomain();
        rh(I) = T(I);

The latter will assign to the external guards; the former will not.

Pooma can't easily guess what you want - yes, for the total domain there is no ambiguity, but then Pooma would have to have some way to figure out that the domain passed in was the total domain. For a subdomain, it could be almost anything; e.g.

        rh(I) = T(I+1);
    

I don't know if the domain check was a "PAssert" or a "PInsist". It wasn't in an inner loop, so I'd have thought it would be the latter (which do not compile away in optimized code).
