Thanks Simon, I was using ncdf and an old version of raster, and raster ( the old version) threw an error and suggested RNetCDF. Robert was kinf enough to point out that I had the old version of raster loaded and that fixed the problem.
I did note that while on the MAC using the package manager and installer from the GUI that I did have to exit and restart R to get the newer version of raster to attach properly.. or for sessionInfo() to report the proper version.
