The syntax for entries in the "pqact" configuration-file is specified
at 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/pqact.conf.html>.
Basically, a <tab> character or a <newline> character followed by a
<tab> character must follow the feedtype (e.g. CONDUIT), pattern (e.g.,
".*"), and action (e.g., FILE) fields.  After the action field, you
may use either tab characters or space characters.  So, for example,
your entry can be

CONDUIT<tab>(2007)(.*)<space>.*
<tab>FILE<tab>-close<tab-or-space>-overwrite<tab-or-space>data/tigge_test/conduit/\1\2

Because it's difficult to remember where spaces are allowed, I
recommend always using tab characters unless you truly want
to specify a space (as you did in the regular-expression field).

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
