The external files are fine, but there's one problem with using the 
'references' attribute; that term is defined as a global attribute in CF. Most 
netCDF software does not handle a situation where a term is used as a global 
and a variable attribute the way you might expect -  that's apparently a 
feature (and has caused problems with oceansites data).

I haven't had a chance to check your Metadata Profile yet; I hope you're also 
using the Conventions attribute, with a version number, for your IOOS details.
