I remember running into the same problem once, and doing a hack to
save many years of a simulation.  What I did was to go back to the
netcdf source and disable the line which checked whether the requested
time range exceeded the value of the (unlimited) time dimension.
It was just a matter of commenting out 1 line, but I cannot really 
remember where it was. It worked, though. It would be nice to have
a way of doing this through the API. Russ?
