Sorry to be so unresponsive on our end.  We were in Oklahoma last
week teaching a workshop and are getting sidetracked left and
right.

I'm not clear on what you are asking.  Here's what I understand you
to say:

1) you get channel's 13 and 14 when you do an IMGLIST in McIDAS on 
archived data.
2) when you look at the same datatsets through the IDV, they are not
listed.  
3) for realtime data (EUM_AD), these are not listed for the M9
dataset in either McIDAS or IDV

If your local McIDAS system is set up so that the ADDE server and
the McIDAS session are both pointing to the same enviroment (same
executables), you should see the same bands in the IDV that you
see in McIDAS.  Are they sharing the same environment?  Is it
possible that the remote ADDE server is not picking up 
Marianne's server, but the default MSG server?

As for the difference between realtime and archived data, is it
possible that the bands are added during the archiving?  Or
are they running a different version of the server that does not
have this calculation in it?  

If I'm misunderstanding the situation, please let me know.
