David, Your request line in ldmd.conf has some stray parentheses that are likely your problem. >"(MT.mrf.*|(prod/ruc2a.*grib2)|(ST.opnl/MT.gfs|prod/gfs.*pgrb[^2]|prod/gefs) > |nccf/com/nam.*awip3d)" You can also remove all references to "MT." and "ST.opnl" as these file paths from the NWS telecomunications gateway are no longer used now that the transition to the NCEP server is complete. Your request pattern asks for RUC grib2, GFS 1.0 degree and 2.5 degree, ensemble, and NAM 40km grids. A pattern for these could look like "prod/(ruc2a.*grib2|gfs.*pgrb[^2]|gefs|nam.*awip3d)" Once you are receiving the data, the pqact.gempak_decoders patterns for gefs will work.
