[netCDF #HAW-868287]: syntax error, unexpected WORD_WORD , expecting SCAN_ATTR or SCAN_DATASET or SCAN_ERROR

The first thing to test is that you have the right user+pwd.
I think you can test this independent of netcdf by sticking
your url into a browser, but with the added extension .html,
so getting something like this:
https://rda.ucar.edu/thredds/dodsC/aggregations/g/ds083.2/1/TP.grb2.html
This should ask for user+password. If they are correct, then you should
see a form for accessing the dataset.

Now, when nccopy accesses a dap url (as in the example), it uses
the same mechanism as described in that RDA document using .dodsrc
and .netrc. Note also that it is very important to have the .rda_cookies
file.
So, if .dodsrc and .netrc the cookies file are all set up, then the nccopy
command should work.

So, please verify the above and let me know if it still failing.
