I don't think the patterns in the pqact(1) configuration can be
surrounded by quotes.  (It would be nice if they could, because then I
could eliminate the requirement that the fields be separated by tabs.)

Also, the pattern "MTR..." seems odd because it will match 
"MTR 27" in your above examples -- and it seems odd to create a
directory and file with a blank in the name.  Is that truely what you
want?

Is there a "Starting Up" message from the pqact(1) process in the
logfile?

Are there any error in the logfile related to pqact(1)?

Does the pqact(1) configuration-file have tabs in the following
positions:

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

Incidentally, the current working directory of the pqact(1) process is
"/home/ldm", so you could change the above to

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

Does the command "ldmadmin pqactcheck" terminate successfully?
