>oops - there is no 1156 Z report in this grep!


Paul....Yes there is!! See below the line:

2000091311_DDPLUS.wmo:METAR KMOB 131156Z 03005KT 6SM BR OVC100 23/22 A3000 R
MK AO2 SLP156


Also,
I ran a notifyme to your LDM server and see that you do have this hour:
Sep 13 18:50:24 notifyme[1002882]: NOTIFYME(pluto.met.fsu.edu): OK
Sep 13 18:50:29 notifyme[1002882]:      144 20000913175726.566 IDS|DDPLUS 191  
SAUS44 KMOB 131757 /pMTRMOB

(I chose the KMOB since it is easy to verify on your end).

If you run pqcat on your LDM server, you should see the contents of the
product:
pqcat -l - -v -f DDPLUS -o 3600 -p "SAUS44 KMOB 131757"



191 
SAUS44 KMOB 131757
MTRMOB
METAR KMOB 131756Z 24004KT 10SM FEW095 31/23 A2999 RMK AO2 SLP153 
T03060228 10311 20233 58012

Sep 13 18:52:50 pqcat: Exiting
Sep 13 18:52:51 pqcat: Number of products 1


So, we know that this product did reach pluto.met.fsu.edu.
