Here is what the WSI headers look like and how they relate to the pattern
above:

WSI header for BREF1 for LWX:  NEX/LWX/BREF1/200302041440

\1 -> LWX         ID
\2 -> BREF1|VEL1  TYPE
\3 -> 03          yy
\4 -> 02          MM
\5 -> 04          dd
\6 -> 14          hh
\7 -> 40          mm

Here is what the NNEXRAD pattern looks like and how they relate to the
pattern listed below:

NNEXRAD header for N0R for LWX:  SDUS51 KLWX 041501 /pN0RLWX

\1 -> 04          dd
\2 -> 15          hh
\3 -> 01          mm
\4 -> N0R|N0V     TYPE
\5 -> LWX         ID

The pqact.conf action I think you need is:

NEXRAD  ^SDUS[2357]. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(N0R|N0V)(LWX)
        EXEC    util/NIDS_gif.csh \4_\5_(\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2\3.nex 
\5_\4_(\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2\3.gif

This could be simplified by not separating the hour from the minute
in the time.
