Use the "pqact.conf" pattern in a "notifyme" invocation.  Does it
work (i.e., show NEXRAD2 data-products)?

You should use the "-R" option of "chmod" to allow all subdirectories
to be writable.

Don't worry about the "rtstats" messages.

You can request data from only one or two sites.

Upstream filtering is possible (see 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/ldmd.conf.html#ALLOW>).
I recommend, however, only requesting the sites in which you're interested.
