Hi Steve,

It's possible you have the dimensions reversed in your start and count arrays.
In Fortran, the first dimension varies most quickly, but in C and the CDL
output by ncdump, the last dimension varies most quickly.  Without seeing
the output from ncdump -h, I can't tell for sure, but if the time dimension is
varying most slowly in the netCDF file (that is all values for a time are
stored
together) and you are trying to get all the values for one time, then you
should use

   start = (/ 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 /)
   count = (/ 1 , z , x , y /)
