Tony,

I doubt that the above is really a meaningful response
in this case.  I think GDAL is picking the wrong
dimension for x.  The netCDF driver also doesn't
handle multiple variables in one netCDF file gracefully.

As it happens, you are once again operating on the
frontier I am interested in advancing.  In particular,
I am interested in improving the netCDF driver.

Would you mind pointing me to the netCDF file
in question so I can try and use it as an example
while I work on the driver.

Best regards,
