Art,

I don't know for sure what the product ID's look like in pqsurf. Could you
enter a command in pqsurf.conf like

WMO     ^(...... .... ......)
        EXEC    /bin/touch      data/IDs/\1

This will show the product ID's, then it will be able to check if your
pqsurf.conf entries are correct or there is a problem with pqsurf. I
suspect that your pqsurf.conf entries need to be changed.
