Hi Masha,
Thanks for sending the file.
I tried this out and got a NetCDF error message:
ncendef: ncid 65536: NetCDF: One or more variable sizes violate format constraints

Did you get this as well? It generally means that you are writing a variable that is bigger than 2GB and therefore you need to use the largefile option.
I was able to successfully convert the file just by adding the '-L' option:

ncl_convert2nc Q_1979_01.grib -L
