Peter:

You no doubt are using Safari on your Mac.  Safari is funny with XML.  When you get the page that says  "OPeNDAP-Server4" go to the "View" menu and select "View Source" and you will see the catalog.

As for filtering the files that aren't OpeNDAP accessible, Ticket #467on the Trac system says  (I had the same response as you did and found this):

HTH.  There are potentially some nice things in this version.  BTW, is there a schema for the DDX file?
