David,

Hmm...  It seems like this should have been done automatically for you.
Linux seems pretty good about knowing about time changes, but that
may just be for the US.

Excellent!  Thank you so much for this!

One week of Brazilian satellite sectors would be a LOT of data.  Each
image will be on the order of 3 MB, and those images will be created
for multiple bands (wavelength channels).  As I get things setup on
brisa, I will setup scouring to leave a small number (like 20 or so) of
each type on disk.  As we see how much disk space gets used, we can
increase or decrease the number saved.

Cheers,

Tom
