> The test is run with both the beta3 and 4.1.1 versions of ncgen, so you can 
> see the difference. I figure that since it fails out of the box with a piece 
> of Unidata software, that would be a good place to start!

> The decoder (with -h option) writes a new netCDF file each hour. Whenever a

> netCDF file based on a template CDL file.

Howdy Richard!

Dennis was not able to reproduce your specific problem, but has made many 
bugfixes and improvements in the last few months to the remote access client. I 
wonder if you could try our latest snapshot release to see if your problem has 
been fixed:

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz

Please let us know the results.

Thanks!

Ed
