Tony,

You pattern above is fine. You will probably need to use -m 10000 for the
40km grids to be on the safe side.

The reason you are not receiving the 40km grids is that your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf
request is specifically not requesting them.

You pattern is:
request HRS "(^H)|(^[YZ].[^AHIJNRTU])|(^Y.A... KWBH)" cirrus.al.noaa.gov

To start receiving the R grids (eta is the only model on the R grids),
remove the R from the exclusion list of the products starting with^[YZ], 
request HRS "(^H)|(^[YZ].[^AHIJNTU])|(^Y.A... KWBH)" cirrus.al.noaa.gov
