Pardon me if this has already been mentioned (I seem to be entering the 
discussion late), but have you tried getting the Matlab NetCDF tools to work 
with octave?  You can get them at 
http://crusty.er.usgs.gov/~cdenham/MexCDF/nc4ml5.html

I remember installing them for matlab, but I never tried using them with 
octave.

We have one professor here in my department who is a big believer in both 
Octave and NetCDF.  I forwarded this issue to him to see if he might have any 
suggestions.

Good luck.
