I have added the shapefiles to /g/data/xp65/public/apps/cartopy-data/shapefiles/natural_earth/admin Maybe it needs to go in /g/data/xp65/public/apps/cartopy-data/shapefiles/natural_earth/cultural though. Have a look when you have a chance.

To work i added to my PBS job file: export CARTOPY_DATA_DIR=/home/189/fc6164/esmValTool/cartopy #/g/data/xp65/public/apps/cartopy-data

with this folder structure:

cartopy/
└── shapefiles
    └── natural_earth
        └── cultural
            ├── ne_10m_admin_0_countries.cpg
            ├── ne_10m_admin_0_countries.dbf
            ├── ne_10m_admin_0_countries.prj
            ├── ne_10m_admin_0_countries.shp
            ├── ne_10m_admin_0_countries.shx

So looks like it does have to be in /cultural and can set the cartopy os environment variable that's different from the ESMValTool auxiliary data directory
