projectRaster function no values

All,

Greetings! Any help with this problem is appreciated!

I'm working to get a netcdf file that has a Lambert Conformal Conic
projection into geographic, but also a smaller area.  Here's the issue I'm
having - essentially it looks like projectRaster is working, but the
resulting raster has no values.

The data itself is massive so I can't include that, but here's what's going
on.

testvar2 = raster("SE/test.nc",band=t,varname="TAMAX") # pulling first

time slice of my netcdf

testvar2

I'm quite perplexed with this one, I feel like I'm doing everything right
so I'm not sure what's failing.  The R version is R 3.2.3 in a Linux/Unix
environment.

Many thanks for your help!
