Make sure the white space that's not part of the product pattern are tabs. You can check the pqact.conf file by: % ldmadmin pqactcheck or by the instructions at the top of the pqact.conf file. Also, you should make a modification to palt.c in the pqact subdir for a Y2K bug in pqact. I'll send another message with the instructions.
