Yes, I would guess it is a netCDF library thing and not
an IDL thing. Maybe IDL could expand the path before it
called the library routine.

I think NCDF_CREATE does not expand path names. Your error message
indicates that the ~ directory in ~/test.ncd does not exist:
IDL> id = NCDF_CREATE('~/test.ncd', CLOBBER = clobber)
% Loaded DLM: NCDF.
% NCDF_CREATE: Unable to create the file, ~/test.ncd. (NC_ERROR=-31)
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
IDL> $mkdir '~'
IDL> id = NCDF_CREATE('~/test.ncd', CLOBBER = clobber)
IDL> help, id
ID LONG = 5

Lajos
