Robert,

The log message that the tables in $GEMTBL/grid are not being found indicate 
that
you need to check the definition you have for -e GEMTBL=.... in the
pqact.conf action. The path shown below is that which I use, but you may have to
change it for your site depending on where your GEMTBL environmental variable
points to.

The pattern below will catch all the GRIB datafrom NOAAPORT, grib products
from the NPGAPS feed, and grib products in the CONDUIT data feeds:

Eg,
HDS     ^[HOYZ].*       H, Y and Z are most of the model data, O is 
oceanographic grids
NOGAPS  ^US058.*        If you feed NOGAPS data from FNMOC as one of the 
optional IDD streams,
                        this will be the global grid 240 NOGAPS and the COMPS 
regional grids.
NMC2    ^/u/ftp/gateway/.*      These are the conduit grids which are available 
under the
                                NMC2 feedtype (they are very large in volume) 
so only a feew
                                sites feed these.

For just the NOAAPORT IDD grids, you could shorten this to the HDS pattern 
shown above.
