Hi Simon.

In order, to better diagnose this problem, would it be possible to upload the 
ccam33S147E08km.nc here: http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload

Let us know when it is uploaded.

Also, tell us a bit more about what you are trying to do with these data so 
that we can give you a better answer.

Thanks.
