Hiya, Your pqact entry is not quite correct, the \n corresponds to the (). The \3 in your file name is (/mAVN|/mSSIAVN) which is unconventional( illegal) file name . Maybe you should change it to: data/GRIB/(\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2.avn The data will be written to a file similar to: data/GRIB/99121612.avn The reason you are not seeing any data files is that the LDM configuration has a problem. From the log files, it start up then exits. There is debug information in the top of the etc/ldmd.conf file. Try start the LDM from the command line in the LDM home dir, ie % bin/rpc.ldmd -vl - etc/ldmd.conf The log messages will come to the screen and should show you the problem.
