Hi Rich,
John is out the rest of the week, so I'll answer this one.

Bottom line: <datasetRoot> is required for any dataset you want to serve that
isn't configured by a <datasetScan> or an aggregation.
More detail ...
datasetRoot, like datasetScan, provides the TDS with the mapping between the
URL and the location on disk. So for John's example:
> > <datasetRoot path="testN" location="/content/data/" cache="false" />
the file /content/data/file.nc would be served when a request came in for the
URL ".../testN/file.nc". Without the datasetRoot element, the TDS would not
know how to locate the file when the request came in.
The way the dataset references the datasetRoot is by starting its urlPath with
the path of the datasetRoot. So the dataset from the above would look like:
<dataset ID='coolData' name="Cool Data" urlPath="testN/file.nc">...</dataset>
Hope that makes sense,
Ethan
