There is another problem. The file being sent thru opendap is a netcdf-4
file,
not a netcdf-3 (classic) file. Further, the netcdf-4 dataset uses the
ubyte data type
for 'waterb', and ubyte type is not defined for netcdf-3.
Technically, there is no standard mapping from netcdf-4 to opendap.
I can see following solutions:
1. do nothing; this request is erroneous, or
2. add another hack to support this case, or
3. request that the DAP4 protocol be used since this is a netcdf-4 file
being sent.

Dear NetCDFGroup,
I have a question: A previous version of ncdump (4.4.1.1) does give a nice
overview of an OpenDAP URL, while a newer version of ncdump (4.6.2) does not:

NetCDF: Not a valid data type or _FillValue type mismatch
Am I forgetting something?
