20030827: 20030826: dcnexr2 write errors

Eric,

I notice you have changed the path tho the decoders from decoders/dcgrib2
for example to decoders/gempak/dcgrib2.
Is that path correct? All the entries I provide assume you will have the 
decoders
under decoders/ from the LDMHOME.

Nothing in $GEMTBL needs write permission, so the error you are seeing
is most likely either that the decoder isn't being found from pqact,
or that a table isn't found, shich would be noted in the log file
created by the decoder (typically under data/gempak/logs).
