If you look at the documentation for nc_def_var_chunking, you will see this:
> If NC_CONTIGUOUS, then contiguous storage is used for this variable. Variables
> with one or more unlimited dimensions cannot use contiguous storage. If
> contiguous storage is turned on, the chunksizes parameter is ignored.
This is the source of your problem.
However, the return code can be improved to return NC_EBADDIM, and I will fix 
that.
