[netCDFJava #HRY-102614]: problem in using NetCDF-Java Library to create netcdf file

Greetings Jeff,

The reason your ncml file won't work is because the variables you are creating
are each bigger than 2 gigabytes. If you switch to writing out a netcdf4 file, 
then
you will be able to use your ncml file without modification.

To enable netcdf4 writing, you will need the C library installed. See

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/current/netcdf-java/reference/netcdf4Clibrary.html

for more information.

Cheers,

Sean
