Pete, 
I ran:
notifyme -v -l - -o 3600 -f MCIDAS -h fujita.afit.af.mil

and see for this hour:
1287354 19990909151648.309  MCIDAS 000  LWTOA3 133 DIALPROD=U5 99252 151618
2347797 19990909151700.556  MCIDAS 000  LWTOA3 123 DIALPROD=U9 99252 151619

The files AREA012x are GOES-10 visible images, and AREA013x are
GOES-10 ir images.

So, the data is arriving at your computer. Presumably, you have a single
LWTOA3 pqact.conf action which passes the products to the ldm-mcidas
lwtoa3 decoder program. The lwtoa3 decoder should log each header that 
it receives. You should verify that you have the AREA012x and AREA013x file
names in the log file, and are being stored in the mcidas data directory.

I am not clear as to what you mean by saying you haven't received the
data- but the AREA files are being filed. That seems to say you
are filing the GOES-10 images, and we can see that they are arriving
at your computer.
