Matt,

The log file suggests  that ncgen was never called to create the netCDF
file, so the decoder doesn't have a destination file to write to. ie

ncopen: filename "./00021707_metar.nc": No such file or directory

Look in the current dir for the file, if it not there try:

% ncgen -o 00021707_metar.nc metar.cdl

Usually the decoder checks for ncgen before it even starts to run.  Do you
have write permission in the metar dir?

If ncgen created 00021707_metar.nc, then try:

% ncdump 00021707_metar.nc | more

Try running the metar2nc again.  Also what type of machine/OS and version
of perl are you running?
