Yes, that will work. I choose a different solution though, as the
above either requires saving your variable twice (once for ferret,
once for matlab) in the netcdf file, or it creates a netcdf file that
doesn't work for Ferret as the dates are wrong.

I chose to do 

  let matlab_times = t[gt=time_axis]+1

  save /file=bla.nc my_variable, matlab_times

Because matlab reads variables from netcdf files independent of their
dimensions, this is the easiest way to get a proper time axis in
matlab without breaking the netcdf file for Ferret.
