Hi Brian, 

It looks as if this question has gotten verbose..and confusing to me :)

I suggest one of two things:

1) We start fresh with what you want to do and how you want to do it.

2) We can talk over the phone and maybe get a quicker resolution.

I use RAMADDA, IDV, GEMPAK, LDM, on a daily basis and can hopefully guide you
to data access satisfaction. It is quite busy and (ok, not incredibly well 
documented) it takes some time to figure out
how all the pieces fit together well to do what you want them to do.

Let me know how you prefer to proceed, and we will get after it!
