Hi Fan, Great, I'm glad it's working! This was a weird corner case. FileCache looks at a dataset's last-modified time in order to detect if an entry is stale and needs to be refreshed. Checking that is easy if the dataset is local; the OS can tell you. But for OPeNDAP (and probably other remote formats), that info isn't readily accessible. So we just assume those remote datasets never change. And so the cache can grow stale.
