Good questions!  So, to answer your initial assumption 1 ingested file does not 
always
equal 1 decoded HDF5 file.  Data from several of the ingested files (raw files) 
can
end up in one HDF5 file, which could explain why you have less HDF5 files than 
you had
raw files.

There are a couple things you can do to verify all of your data is indeed 
getting 
ingested though.  The first is,  you can watch the edex-ingest log as you're 
running
your script with the for loop.  (You can also view it afterwards, so you don't 
have
to "watch" it in real time).  But, if you wanted to watch it, you'd open a new 
terminal
and type:
  tail -f /awips2/edex/logs/edex-ingestGrib-[date].log
Then that will update as things are written to the log.  So you could then run 
your 
script with the for loop, and you will see each of the individual files 
entering EDEX.

Another thing to do, you could add a simple `echo` statement in your current 
script,
to read out the name of the file you're passing to notifyAWIPS2-unidata.py.  
That way
you could verify all of the files you're expecting, do indeed get called with 
the notify
script.

Finally, you could open another terminal (like before), and watch the qpid 
queue.  You 
do this by running:
  edex qpid
This should show you the individual entries for each of your raw files.

Let me know if this makes sense and if it helps?
Thanks!
