This message has nothing to do with file size.
You are not pointimg addfile to the correct location.

   f = addfile ("foo.nc", "r") ; foo.nc is in current directory
   f = addfile ("./foo.nc", "r") ; foo.nc is in current directory

   f = addfile ("/my/data/foo.nc", "r") ; /my/data directory

   dir = "/ptmp/user/"
   f = addfile (dir+"foo.nc", "r") ; /ptmp/user directory

   dir = "/ptmp/user/"
   fil = "foo.nc
   f = addfile (dir+fil,"r") ; /ptmp/user directory

----------
On most systems netCDF files can not exceed 2GB.
However, if your system has Large File Support (LFS),
netCDSF files can be larger than 2GB.
