Hi,

is your GDAL version *compiled* with netCDF support?

gdal-config --formats

will tell you. If so, then there is still the problem that the
netCDF driver in GDAL is limited (see its documentation):
 http://www.gdal.org/frmt_various.html#netCDF

In any case it is more a question for the GDAL list.
