Yes.  Remove the quotes from around the pattern you are specifying:

change:

DDPLUS  "MTR(...)"
        FILE    -overwrite -close -flush /home/ldm/data/ldm/\1/MTR\1

to:

DDPLUS  MTR(...)
        FILE    -overwrite -close -flush /home/ldm/data/ldm/\1/MTR\1

I assume you know that the pattern you are specifying with 'MTR(...)'
will match 'MTR 27' in the headers you included from your 'ldmadmin
watch' listing resulting in '\1' evaluationg to ' 27'.

Also, for consistency with other uses of datastream names, change
DDPLUS to IDS|DDPLUS.  This will have no real effect since the bit
pattern will be the same.  It will make your pqact.conf action look
like others and match the datastream name listed for 'ldmadmin watch'
invocations.

Cheers,

Tom Yoksas
