Hi Julian:

Because this file has more than one GDS, they get placed into seperate groups:

netcdf C:/data/test/INDOuestN_20652.grb {

 Group proj0 {

     time = 7;   // (has coord.var)

}

You can see this by usung the ToolsUI program.

These cannot be written into a netcdf-3 file, which doesnt support groups. We 
could probably add an option to flatten groups so that they can be written to 
netcdf-3, but its not available at this point.

We will respond separately about the table problem.
