VRT dataset not being populated by gdalwarp

[kyle]

When creating a warped vrt file, the dataset is never populated:

But if I use the tiff driver it works fine:

kyle@Lucky13:~/gdal-tickets$ gdalwarp -s_srs in.prj -t_srs out.prj NETCDF:gfs.nc:U-component_of_wind_height_above_ground test.tif

I also tried this with a similar dataset in the northern hemisphere and the vrt was written correctly.

Files attached.

(you should regenerate the VRT after updating so that the block dimensions are updated in it)

[kyle]

any way to have this pushed into 1.8 before the maintenance release?
