Russ,
The new point data CDM stack is not supported by opendap. This is something I 
have spoken with John and Don
about and will be bringing it up with them again this week.

What's going on is that the IDV is trying to read that opendap url as a grid. 
Normally, it would tell the
user that no grids could be found and ask the user to select another data 
source type. But, with the new cdm
stack the opendap access just throws an error.
