The error message appears to indicate that you are trying to open
the directory instead of one of the files in the directory.  Are you
accessing this through a catalog?   If so, what is the URL for that
catalog. 

If not, then you need to select a particular file under the directory
(e.g. 
http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/nph-nc/Datasets/ncep.reanalysis2/pressure/air.1979.nc)
for the IDV to load it.
