Ed,

I doubt this problem has anything to do with NC conventions.  If gdalinfo
reports correct information about the file, and gdal_translate can translate
the file then the NC stuff isn't an issue.

The above mostly likely means there is either a permissions problem (apache
has limited permissions as a rule), or the path constructed by MapServer is
wrong (try an absolute path), or MapServer isn't built with a netcdf enabled
GDAL.

Best regards,
