This should work fine.  Perhaps you are misinterpreting the use of the START
or COUNT arguments to NCVGT.  I'm not sure what NCVGTV refers to, since
there is no subprogram in the netCDF Fortran library with that name.  We
would need to see a small example program that appears to fail in order for
us to be able to diagnose the problem or verify that there is a bug.
