You need to provide the output of

% ncdump -c filename

so that we will be able to diagnose the problem with your file. Before that,
have you carefully read the section of the User's Guide that deals with
netcdf/hdf files?

    http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/SDFdescriptorfile.html

In particular, the part relating to the COARDS conventions? For using the
"sdfopen" command, your file must satisfy the COARDS conventions:

Good Luck,
