nc is ncfile. This object is created in octcdf
(http://octave.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/octave/trunk/octave-forge/main/octcdf/src/ov-ncfile.h?revision=4812&view=markup)
and var is just a matrix. A complete example (which requires octcdf)
would be:

nc = netcdf('test.nc','c'); % creates a netcdf file test.nc

nc('time') = 5;  % defines dimension time
nc('space') = 3; % defines dimension space

var = rand(5,3);

nc{'autoscale_var'} =  ncdouble('time','space');  % defines a variable
depending on time and space
nc{'autoscale_var'}.add_offset = 1; % variable will be stored with an
offset of 1
nc{'autoscale_var'}.scale_factor = .1; % and scaled by a factor of .1
nc{'autoscale_var',1}(:) = var; % write variable to netcdf file with
autoscaling enabled

close(nc) % close netcdf file

I have this problem with octave 3.2.0 compiled with --enable-64, but I
don't think that this option has something to do with this (or not?)

Thanks,
