Hi Marston,
> I'm using netcdf4.1.1 and hdf51.8.4 patch 1.
We now recommend using HDF5 version 1.8.5-patch1 with netCDF-4.1.1,
although I don't think all our online documentation has been updated
with that recommendation. But that is probably *not* the source of
the problem you're seeing.

Without seeing your code I'm just guessing, but did you supply an array
of the dimensions sizes (NX, NY, and NZ) rather than the dimension IDs
returned from defining 3 netCDF dimensions named NX, NY, and NZ?
Just for reference, here's an example of a program fragment defining 3
netCDF dimensions and defining a 3D netCDF variable in terms of them:
#define NDIM 3
#define NX 10
#define NY 20
#define NZ 30
int nx_dimid, ny_dimid, nz_dimid;
int dimids[NDIM];
int varid;
...
/* Define the dimensions. */
if ((retval = nc_def_dim(ncid, "nx", NX, &nx_dimid)))
ERR(retval);
if ((retval = nc_def_dim(ncid, "ny", NY, &ny_dimid)))
ERR(retval);
if ((retval = nc_def_dim(ncid, "nz", NZ, &nz_dimid)))
ERR(retval);
/* The dimids array is used to pass the dimids of the dimensions of
the netCDF variables. */
dimids[0] = ny_dimid;
dimids[1] = ny_dimid;
dimids[2] = nz_dimid;
/* Define the netCDF variable */
if ((retval = nc_def_var(ncid, "varname", NC_FLOAT, NDIMS, dimids, &varid)))

If it's not the problem described above, do you have a small example
that fails that you could send, so we can reproduce the problem here?
