Dear Andrew > ERROR (4): Axis attribute is not allowed for auxillary coordinate variables. > I don't get this error with the Vector approach.

The scalar coordinate vars are formally aux coord vars, because they are named by the coordinates attribute. There has been confusion for a long time on whether the axis attribute is allowed for aux coord vars, but we eventually decided that it should be. This has been agreed on trac ticket 62 https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/62 which should go in the next version of CF. Therefore you could ignore these errors. The checker will be updated when CF is.
