Change your pqact.conf entry to look like:

CONDUIT onedeg.*\/(20..........)\/(F...)
     FILE    data/gfs_onedeg/\1_\2

The pathological part of the regular expression is the leading '.*' in
your pattern.  It is not needed, so deleting it will harm nothing, and
the regular expression parser will run faster.


Cheers,

Tom
