[netCDF #TLW-910405]: Additional group questions F90

I suspect that the group name is actually 'mol_lay'
and not 'group mol_lay' You should include the 'group'
keyword as part of the group name.

> This is the documentation from your web page:

> 
> NCID
> The group id for this operation.
> NAME
> A character array that holds the name of the desired group. Must be less then

> GRPID
> The ID of the group will go here.

> Errors
