This generally means that it is not finding the file. Try dragging the file
into a terminal window. That will cause the full path to the file to appear in
the terminal window.

For other OS X users, I keep this little AppleScript on my desktop as a compiled
script named ncdump.

on open (list_of_aliases)
tell application "Terminal"
activate
set macfile to (first item of list_of_aliases) as string (* extract first
alias *)
set unixfile to POSIX path of macfile (* convert to Unix path *)
do script with command �
"/usr/local/bin/ncdump " & unixfile & " | less" (* run ncdump command *)
end tell
end open

Dragging a netCDF file onto automatically opens a new terminal window and does
an ncdump.
