Hi Kevin,

> Any suggestions?

That indicates a system error (netcdf.h has "#define    NC_SYSERR       
(-31)"), 
so it is not a netCDF error.  Typically when a program gets that error code 
returned from a netCDF function call, it should print the corresponding system
error message for the system error code in the global "errno" variable, such as
"No such file or directory", "I/O error", "Permission denied", "File too large",
"No space left on device", or something similar.

If you call the nc_strerror with the error code, it will return the appropriate
error message, even if it's a system error.
