Ed, There were a lot of good changes made by Frank and Denis last year to the netCDF driver to support r/w and access to variables, this means the syntax of the time index shape file has changed. So an example from my netCDF WCS installation here would be
OGRFeature(my__ta):61 LOCATION (String) = NETCDF:"/my__ta_1982013118.nc":ta TIME (String) = 1982-01-31T18 POLYGON ((0 160,320 160,320 0,0 0,0 160)) (I have made up the file names), but you see how I have accessed the temperature variable using the NETCDF access keyword? To create a time index shapefile for netCDF and MapServer you can use GDAL and Python (and recently someone reported using Ruby), I posted a script to the list last year to do this, if you hunt around you can find it. (Or later on this week post to me and I will dig it out).
