Are you using lseek instead of lseek64?

In windows code, something like this should be triggered in the netcdf.h file:
#include <io.h>
#include <process.h>
#define lseek _lseeki64
#define off_t __int64
#define _off_t __int64
#define _OFF_T_DEFINED

The lseek function cannot work past 2 GB boundary...
