[gradsusr] No discernable time coordinate in single-timestep NC file

When using SDFWRITE, I have been unable to output a single-timestep NC file
with the desired time coordinate.  They always show "00Z01JAN0001" for time
when I do a 'q ctlinfo' or 'q dim'.  However, If I output a multi-timestep
file, the correct times are shown.  I am not having a problem with the
displayed data, and I do know that I can analyze using t=1 or
time=00Z01JAN0001, so it's not a show-stopper.

I have tried various combinations of 'set sdfattr time String.....' to set
attribute metadata, but to no avail.  Other 'set sdfattr...' commands are
working.

I am currently using opengrads version 2.0.a7.oga.3.  The documentation says
'set sdfattr' command is available in v2.0.a3 or higher, but perhaps some
won't work with my version?
