If you build netCDF with --enable-logging, then put the following in your code: nc_set_log_level(3); (There is also a fortran version.) You will then get a ton of output. Trying changing the "3" to a "1" to get less output, or to a 5 to get more. If this doesn't work, fire up the parallel debugger and see where HDF5 and netCDF are failing to get along...
