Larry,

An alternative I should have mentioned is conversion of grib2 to netCDF
using the Unidata netCDF-Java package, but you only have to use a
command-line invocation, not write a Java program.  It's demonstrated
in the first example here:

 http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/faq.html#Writing

so for your example, you could use:

 java -Xmx512m -classpath netcdfAll.jar ucar.nc2.dataset.NetcdfDataset -in 
infile.grib2 -out outfile.nc

You would need to get the file

 ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf-java/v4.0/netcdfAll-4.0.zip

for use in the classpath argument.
