NcML is misinterpresting

  C:\RPS\cf\caricoos

as a path reletive to the NcML file. 

You should use

  <scan location="C:/RPS/cf/caricoos" suffix=".nc" subdirs="true"

instead of

  <scan location="C:\RPS\cf\caricoos" suffix=".nc" subdirs="true"

or even better:

  <scan location="file:C:/RPS/cf/caricoos" suffix=".nc" subdirs="true"


see this for more info:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/DatasetUrls.html

"When using a directory location that has an embedded ':' char, eg 
C:/share/data/model.nc, its a really good idea to add the file: prefix, to 
prevent the 'C:' from being misinterpreted as a URI schema. Future versions of 
NcML may use URIs for the location."
