Dave,

Sorry, I spoke too soon in my response yesterday.  I can't duplicate the
problem
you are seeing with the released netCDF-4.0, only with an earlier beta release
that I had inadvertently installed and tested with, thinking it was the
released
version.

Are you sure the ncdump you are using is the one built from netCDF-4.0 or
later,
released in June 2008?

I just checked again by building a new version of ncdump from scratch from the
June 4.0 release, and running the ncdump built from that shows the correct
output:

netcdf test_group_def {
dimensions:
        Time = UNLIMITED ; // (1 currently)
variables:
        double Time(Time) ;
                Time:units = "days since 1900-01-01" ;
                Time:long_name = "Time" ;
data:

 Time = 3.1415926536 ;

group: model2 {
  ...

If you are still not seeing the line for the value of Time, please
send more details about the platform and compilers you are using.

Thanks!
