netCDF troubles



I'm trying to read a netcdf file into ferret and I get the following error:

*** NOTE: Unsupported netCDF # of axes for variable Ed_Wet

The variable in question is dimensioned as follows:

float Ed_Wet('wavelength2', 'time2', 'depth2', 'latitude', 'longitude')

The ordering and number of dimensions were chosen following the 
recommendations in 
http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/noaa_coop/coop_cdf_profile.html which has the 
following example for 5D variables:

float my_variables(param_value, time, height, lat, lon).

All 5 dimensions are co-ordinate variables (i.e they have dimensions of 
the same name). Wavelength2 and time2 are both 1D arrays containing 
sorted unique values. Depth2, latitude and longitude are all scalars 
(single values).

Is there something I'm missing here? Can ferret handle a 5D variable? 
Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks in advance
