Looking at the comment associated with findAttribute, it says:

  * Find an attribute, with the specified (escaped full) name.
   * It may possibly be nested in multiple groups and/or structures.
   * An embedded "." is interpreted as structure.member.
   * An embedded "/" is interpreted as group/group or group/variable.
   * If the name actually has a ".", you must escape it (call 
NetcdfFile.escapeName(varname))

So assuming you only have a root group, the full path should look
something like this:
    /varname.attributename
