String Dimensions aren't written for duplicated string arrays.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When writing string arrays the dimension HDF5 attribute isn't being written for 
duplicated arrays.

This is causing a problem like this on read:

HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.8) thread 0:
 #000: H5A.c line 550 in H5Aopen(): unable to load attribute info
from object header for attribute: '0012.dims'
   major: Attribute
   minor: Unable to initialize object
 #001: H5Oattribute.c line 538 in H5O_attr_open_by_name(): can't
locate attribute: '0012.dims'
   major: Attribute
   minor: Object not found

The dimensions need to always be written for strings.

The example included shows that the HDF5 file isn't bad, but the file will 
still give the error show above in apps that read the string array data.
