Philipp,

Tom's busy and asked me to help you.

Basically, your problem (as far as the netCDF library is concerned) is
that your program is attempting to define two, distinct dimensions as
the unlimited (or record) dimension.  This means that the Fortran-77
routine

    INTEGER FUNCTION NF_DEF_DIM (INTEGER NCID, CHARACTER*(*) NAME,
                                 INTEGER LEN, INTEGER dimid)

is being called twice for the same netCDF dataset with LEN equal to
NF_UNLIMITED (i.e. 0) both times.

Can you execute your program in a debugger?  If so, then I suggest that
you set a breakpoint at the above call in your program, look at the
value of LEN each time, and see why it's being called with LEN equal to
0 the second time.
