The FSL2 FILE actions in your pqact.conf file are _almost_ correct.  Take the
first action:

FSL2    ^FSL\.CompressedNetCDF\.MADIS\.metar\.(.*)              FILE    
/usr/local/ldm/MADIS_data/point/metar/netcdf \1

What you are missing is the final '/' (slash) between the directory
and file name.  Your actions should look like:

FSL2    ^FSL\.CompressedNetCDF\.MADIS\.metar\.(.*)              FILE    
/usr/local/ldm/MADIS_data/point/metar/netcdf/\1

Please note that you can modify your pqact.conf entries and then make
them active without stopping and restarting your LDM:

<as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm/etc
-- edit pqact.conf with the editor of your choice and add replace the space
   between the directory and file name
-- after exiting the editor, use:

ldmadmin pqactcheck

   action to check to make sure that you havn't introduced a simple typo-type
   error.

-- next, after correcting all errors (if there are any) make the newly modified
   actions active using:

ldmadmin pqactHUP

That should get you going!

Cheers,

Tom
