This will be difficult for us to debug since we do not have
access to an AIX system. Also, netcdf 4.1.3 is pretty old;
any chance you can upgrade to the latest version?
In any case, try this command and send us the output
(assuming its not proprietary):
> ncdump -hs <name of compressed file>


> Description of problem: My programmer issues the following command using 
> NetCDF 4.1.3 to compress a NetCDF file on AIX and it does not compress at all.
> 
> On Linux using NetCDF V4.6.1 it does compress successfully.

> /usr/local/netcdf-4.1.3/bin/nccopy -d 6
