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">
    <attribute name="units" value="days since 1990-01-01 00:00:00"/>
    <attribute name="_CoordinateAxisType" value="Time" />
    <values>4602 4607</values>
  </variable>

  <aggregation dimName="ntime" type="joinNew">
   <variableAgg name="sea_level"/>
   <netcdf location="http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/dods-bin/nph-nc/pub/data_collections/woce_v3/topex/data/10_deg/ssh10d20020808.nc.gz"/>
   <netcdf location="http://dods.jpl.nasa.gov/dods-bin/nph-nc/pub/data_collections/woce_v3/topex/data/10_deg/ssh10d20020813.nc.gz"/>
  </aggregation>

</netcdf> 

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.
