Hi Rich,

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't catch that these were location attributes in NcML. 
I tried this in datasetScan@location values and that worked. Though 
netcdf@location values in aggregations are handled behind the scenes with the 
same code that handles datasetScan@location values, there must be a layer on 
top that restricts the location values in aggregations.

Yes, John's response is correct, forward slashes will always work in both 
situations.

Sorry for the confusion.

Ethan
