OK. I didn't understand you ... if in fact you meant to say

Your files have the station id and the extra "_" in them, which 
isn't supported by ** your nidT entry **.

I found this nidsT to be the solution:

nidsT  : $(nids)/%(site)/%(product)/*_*_@(YYYYMMDD)_@(HHNN)

The "*" wild-carding isn't the same as unix shell, nor REGEX

Then what's the point of the nidsT entry in the Garp_defaults
file if not to specify to the GUI what's in the filename of a
local config?
