Hi Heath,

The problem appears to be in your pqact.conf action.  Here is what
you have currently:

NEXRAD2 /KLIX/ FILE -overwrite data/NEXRAD2/\1.ldm

The \1 reference refers to a subset of the product ID pattern that
is matched, and that subset is delimited by parentheses.

Here is what we think you want:

NEXRAD2  (KLIX)
    FILE   -overwrite   data/NEXRAD2/\1.ldm

NB: use tabs, not spaces, where needed:
    - between NEXRAD2 and (KLIX)
    - before and after FILE

Since you didn't have a subset delimited in your action, it
is very possible that the LDM has been creating the file '.ldm'
in the ~ldm/data/NEXRAD2 directory.  Check to see if this is
true using:

<as 'ldm'>
ls -alt ~ldm/data/NEXRAD/*

After you make the change to your action in ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf, you
should check your typing using:

ldmadmin pqactcheck

If you have no gross errors (those reported by this check), then you
can make the change(s) active without stopping and restarting your
LDM:

<as 'ldm'>
ldmadmin pqactHUP

Cheers,

Tom
