OK, this prompted me to release some code I've been sitting on for
awhile.
Check out:

The routine MG_H5_GETDATA will do what you want, something like:
IDL> data = mg_h5_getdata(filename, 'group/dataset', bounds='*, *,
0')
where 'group/dataset' is the path inside the HDF5 file to your
dataset.

The command h5_browser() is what I've used to look through an H5
file. This way you can pick and choose what you want from it. There
should be a piece of data with your cube of data in it and just import
it. Beyond this...no idea.
