Gerry, can you ping Unidata about that bug? You want the "pqinsert" program to return a non-zero exit status if a data-product that it was to insert into the product-queue is already in the product-queue. Is that correct? What should it return if it's invoked to insert multiple files, only one of which is already in the product-queue? Would it help to think of the "pqinsert" program as idempotent? That is to say, if it returns with a success status, then the file is guaranteed to be in the product-queue.
