TypedDatasetFactory is deprecated, use  ucar.nc2.ft.FeatureDatasetFactoryManager instead.

We are working on developing an IOSP for the fairly complicated Integrated Surface Data (ISD) text format used extensively here at NCDC.  One of the first steps is writing a NetCDF3 file and reading it with ToolsUI and with the NCJ API.  I can see the file as a 'PointFeature' in ToolsUI, but I am unable to open the file as a 'StationObsDataset' via the API.  This seems like the easiest first step for testing, but I can't figure out why ToolsUI can read the file at the CDM level, while the API cannot.  Any suggestions would be great!  I've attached a sample file with sample code and screenshot below.

Thanks,
Steve
