Thanks for the further information.  I've found the problem and
it will be fixed in tomorrow's build.  The problem is that when
we were sampling on time, it was being done as floats so we
were losing resolution.  

An alternative solution is to change your data so that the times
are in a unit of seconds since the first time.  For example,
you could have:

        double timeObs(timeObs) ;
                timeObs:units = "seconds since 2006-10-04 09:59:13 UTC" ;

and then the timeObs values would be:

 timeObs = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.....

Thanks for finding this bug.
