Kevin,

The following is what I've dug out of Chuck Denham's toolbox that we have used 
here in BODC for many years. Namely 

result = result .* theScalefactor + theAddoffset;

in retrieving the data from a variable. If the variable doesn't have the 
attribute scale_factor then it will be taken as 1. Similar sentiments apply to 
theAddoffset
which will be zero unless given explicitly. If you use the toolbox it'll do it 
for you with the auto-scaling option (help netcdf reveals all!)
