Hi Andrew,

In looking at the pqact.conf file, I see no problems offhand.  But, that
file in particular can have hidden bugs, so I won't rule it out entirely
as problem free.

But, in the meantime, let's establish that you're indeed *getting* the
data that you want.   (You won't be able to file it via pqact.conf
unless you first receive it.)  Please send me a copy of your ldmd.conf
file so I can see what you're requesting.  And, from here, it looks like
you're not getting any data at all:

(anne) imogene:/home/anne 17 % notifyme -vl - -h sagth.clemson.edu

First I looked to see if you had any data currently coming in.  When
that timed out, I killed it and started another that would also report
anything in your queue that was newer than one hour.  That also timed
out.  So, it looks like you don't have any recent data in your queue.

One thing you can try to verify this is:
        pqcat -vl - > /dev/null

This will 'cat' out every product in your queue, piping the product to
/dev/null while giving you verbose info about each product and logging
that info to the screen.  

So, give pqcat a try (I suspect it won't show you anything - more for an
exercise), and send me your ldmd.conf file.
