Hi Matt,

The path /usr/local/decoders/src/sao.cdl in the sao2nc entry (in your
pqact.conf file) does not exist.  You probably want to say

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/ldm/decoders/src/sao.cdl
                /usr/local/ldm/data/decoded/(\1:mm)(\1:dd)_sfc.nc

I assume you were using the same erroneous path when you tried to feed the
data to the decoder manually.  Give this adjusted path a try.  Let me know
if you have further problems.
