Hi Trevin,

Yes, it is possible. Here is an example from our test suite that does a similar 
thing:
https://github.com/Unidata/thredds/blob/5.0.0/cdm-test/src/test/java/ucar/nc2/TestWriteMisc.java#L232

I suspect that you were missing the calls to setRedefineMode(). 
updateAttribute() *should* be able to do what you want, but failing that, I 
think that addGroupAttribute() will do the trick as well.

Cheers,
Christian
