Thanks. It works with the file of the example. But it fails with this one
(even on a Linux machine):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3zmhbtcpf7ly4nw/201407291200

> x <- raster('201407291200', var = 'DSSF', ncdf = TRUE)
Error in R_nc4_open: NetCDF: Can't open HDF5 attribute
....
> x <- raster('201407291200', var = '//DSSF', ncdf = TRUE)
Error in R_nc4_open: NetCDF: Can't open HDF5 attribute
....

However, I can open this file in Linux with:

x <- readGDAL('HDF5:201407291200://DSSF')

Best,

Oscar.
