Tony, the pqact.conf action that seems to be giving you problems is the dcncprof (profiler decoder). Check your pqact.conf and make sure that the -e flag that sets the GEMTBL environmental variable location is correct. Presumably the logs and data output locations are still correct- but the GEMTBL location may have changed with your new distribution.
