problem reading 64-bit offset NetCDF files - ncl 6.1.0-beta

I can't seem to read 64-bit offset NetCDF files using ncl 6.1.0-beta.
Here's an example:

arctic: bin > ~/production/bin/bash/nclRead.sh
http://tds.maracoos.org/thredds/dodsC/SST-Agg.nc

(0) Checking File: http://tds.maracoos.org/thredds/dodsC/SST-Agg.nc
fatal:NetCDF: Unknown file format
fatal:Could not open (http://tds.maracoos.org/thredds/dodsC/SST-Agg.nc)

Variable: fid
Type: file
(0) File Missing Value : -1

When I run ncdump on the url, I get the following:

arctic: bin > ncdump -k http://tds.maracoos.org/thredds/dodsC/SST-Agg.nc
64-bit offset

But if I do the same thing using ncl 6.0, it works:

arctic: bash > ~/production/bin/bash/nclRead.sh
http://tds.maracoos.org/thredds/dodsC/SST-Agg.nc
command: /opt/ncl_ncarg-6.0.0.0/bin/ncl
ncFile="http://tds.maracoos.org/thredds/dodsC/SST-Agg.nc"

Here's the info on my linux distro:

arctic: bash > uname -a
Linux arctic 2.6.32-279.1.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 10
17:38:35 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any help greatly appreciated.
