I not sure I understand.  You said the JMA files all have the same name
but the names in the above list are unique.

Also, one can insert multiple data-products with the same
product-identifier into the product-queue as long as the MD5 checksums
of the data are unique.  When doing this with multiple files with the
same name using the pqinsert(1) utility, it would probably be a good
idea to use the "-p id" option.

The main problem I see you having deals with pqact(1).  How are you
going to distinguish between the data-products if they have the same
product-identifier?  If you insert the files via the pqinsert(1) utility
and the "-p id" option, then they will have unique product-identifiers.
