Carl,

This is a setup that we don't have, so troubleshooting will be hard.

It is most likely that nexradII_bz and data/nexradII/...  are not being
combined into a single argument.  This form of this listing can be
confusing since all white space is removed.

Good.

>There is also a tab between the PIPE and the nexradII_bz.

Also good.

Are you sure that /usr/home/ldm/bin/nexradII_bz has execute permission set?
If so, are you sure that you have write permission to the
/usr/home/ldm/data/nexradII/KTLX directory and/or the
/usr/home/ldm/data/nexradII/KTLX/20010906195210.raw file?

Either of these conditions is the most common problem that will cause
the  Broken pipe error you included above.
