Reported by Michel Verstraete:

IDL> filename = root + 'MISR_AM1_TC_CLASSIFIERS_P168_O068050_F07_0012.hdf'
IDL> fieldname = 'CloudMotionCrossTrack'
IDL> status = MTK_FIELDATTR_LIST(filename, fieldname, attrcnt, attrlist)
IDL> attrcnt
           0
IDL> attrlist
Block_size.resolution_x
Block_size.resolution_y
Block_size.size_x
Block_size.size_y

Newest report indicates attrcnt might be correct (since this field does not exist) and the list is potentially incorrect populated instead.
