I believe that -40 indicates that the coordinate array is invalid.  You
can obtain the actual error message via the nf90_strerror() routine.
How many dimensions does the netCDF variable that you're trying to write
have and is the origin-1 vector of indicial coordinates in "nstep" a
valid indicial vector?
