Hi Julian:
Because this file has more than one GDS, they get placed into seperate groups:
netcdf C:/data/test/INDOuestN_20652.grb {
Group proj0 {
dimensions:
time = 7; // (has coord.var)
lat = 31; // (has coord.var)
lon = 21; // (has coord.var)

You can see this by usung the ToolsUI program.
These cannot be written into a netcdf-3 file, which doesnt support groups. We
could probably add an option to flatten groups so that they can be written to
netcdf-3, but its not available at this point.
We will respond separately about the table problem.
