Yes, we have been in touch with ESRI about inclusion of netCDF support into 
their ArcGIS.

I don't think that this is the problem.

We now have ArcGIS 9.2 loaded here at Unidata.  ArcMap 9.2 doesn't understand 
the navigation in the
McIDAS-produced GeoTIFF image either, but one can overlay a map on top of it 
fairly easily.
Since the geo tags I see appear to be correct, I have to assume that one of the 
"additional"
tags being included is causing the image to not be recognized as a GeoTIFF with 
valid
navigation.  I will play with the code more to see if I can figure this out.
