Hi Rich,

Sorry. My mistake. It is failing for me as well. I'm using the latest 4.0 and 
I'm guessing you are too. I haven't tried 2.2 but I don't think it would fail.

I believe, in a recent 4.0 refactor, NcML handling got shuffled out of the core 
NetcdfFile class and into NetcdfDataset. The problem is that FileWriter didn't 
get that message and is still opening the input file with NetcdfFile.open().

I'll dig into this a bit more tomorrow and double check and see about a fix to 
FileWriter.

Ethan
