Hi Matt,

I did log in and take a look.   The usage for sao2nc is: sao2nc [cdlfile]
netcdfFile.  The third argument in your pqact.conf entry for sao2nc is a
directory, not a file name.  I think you need to make it something like:

ANY     ^S[AP](AK..|HW..|U[AEKMNUWX]..|US[^8].|US8[^1]) ....
([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
                PIPE    /usr/local/ldm/decoders/src/sao2nc
                /usr/local/decoders/src/upperair/sao.cdl
                /usr/local/ldm/data/decoded/<fileName>.nc

(It looks like perhaps a line got off from the end of this entry.)
