Eric, The entry provided was correct. Your problems are due to the fact that since you deleted the data log file name (/dev/null), the output file name is being used for the log file, and you don't have a file for the output to go to. I use /dev/null for the log file since I was decoding all sites and didn't need all those logs. You can use something like dsata/gempak/logs/dcnexr2.log as the option for the -d flag.
