Can't specify netcdf output in OutDims

When I am trying to set the output of mapCube via the OutDims path and backend combination to a netcdf file I get the following error:

rqatrend(path::AbstractString; thresh=2, outpath=tempname()*".zarr",overwrite=false, kwargs...) = rqatrend(Cube(path); thresh, outpath, overwrite, kwargs...)
function rqatrend(cube; thresh=2, outpath=tempname() * ".zarr", overwrite=false, kwargs...)
    @show outpath
    mapCube(rqatrend, cube, thresh; indims=InDims("Time"), outdims=OutDims(;outtype=Float16, path=outpath, overwrite, kwargs...))
end

julia>     rqa = RQADeforestation.rqatrend(c; thresh=1., outpath=outnc, backend=:netcdf)
outpath = "/home/fcremer/Documents/rqapython/rqatrend.nc"

Some type information was truncated. Use `show(err)` to see complete types.

Start with the OutDims handling in YAXArrays/src/DAT/DAT.jl and follow the stack trace into YAXArrayBase's datasets/netcdf.jl, especially add_var and create_dataset. Reproduce the shown mapCube call with backend=:netcdf and determine why NetCDF.jl receives an empty type mapping; done means the same output path creates a valid NetCDF dataset without the array error.
