this should work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2">
<variable name="ntime" type="int" shape="ntime">

your main problem was using a "," in <values>, which was silently failing. also you need to specify type="int". I also discovered 2(!) more bugs in the convention parser, which you probably wont see.
