Hi Stu,
From your howto:
http://geon.unavco.org/unavco/IDV_for_GEON_howto_2.html

>Multiple NetCDF files, one for each time, for time animation
>
>If you have data in multiple NetCDF files, with a time for each one, you can 
>link them in the IDV to allow >time animation loops. From Unidata support:
>
>Assuming you are running a fairly recent version of the IDV you can do a 
>multiple select (using Control->Click) of the files in the file chooser. Under 
>the "Data Source Type" select "Aggregated Grid files"
>
>This uses a generated NCML (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ncml/) 
>wrapper and only works if the >files differ on time. -Jeff McWhirter
