SpatialGridDataFrame to netcdf grid

No, see the example in the help file. Use this function to create a
dataset that can be created:

xx <- create2GDAL(locs.sub.ts, drivername="GTiff")

then copy xx:

xxx <- copyDataset(xx, drivername="netCDF")

Thanks Roger, I understand the process a little better.  However, R simply
crashes at this copying stage with:

---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->---
netcdf: 4 is not a valid cdfid

Process R exited abnormally with code 3 at Mon Nov 12 16:00:27 2007
---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->---

without leaving any other trace.  It seems as if this is an issue with
gdal netcdf driver.  Googling turns up a couple of hits with this message,
but they all indicate the problem should already be fixed with the current
version of gdal in Debian unstable (the system this happens on).
