The above message contained the following:

The pqexpire(1) utility hasn't been necessary for years.  You'd better
remove or comment-out the above entry.

The rest of the above looks OK.

Are all the fields in the above delimited by tabs?  I.e.,

    FSL5<tab>   ^(pabc|pahg|papd|paec|paih|pakc|pacg)(.*)
    <tab>       FILE<tab>       -overwrite<tab> /raw/radar/capstone/\1\2
    EXP<tab>    ^(METAR)
    <tab>       EXEC<tab>       -wait<tab>      /apps/datatools/runDecoder.ksh

Did you verify that only one pqact(1) process exists?
