[THREDDS #EHV-218770]: Adding dimension

Hi Alex,

You should be able to add a dimension and variable to your dataset. However, 
you cannot then add that new dimension to any existing variable. Basically, you 
can't change the shape of an existing variable.

Take a look at the catalogInit.log file in content/thredds. If the TDS is 
having trouble with your catalogs, any warning or error messages will be in 
there.

If that doesn't help, send in the CDL of what you have and the CDL of what you 
are trying to get and we can see what we can figure out from there.
