The fact that a notifyme(1) on Awips72 received notifications from Awips 
indicates that Awips72's LDM can receive data from Awips' LDM.

That no data-products exist on Awips that Awips72 requests is likely the case.

notifyme(1) was designed to let you know what data-products exist at an 
upstream site as well as whether or not you can get them.
Incidentally, ths ALLOW entry on Awips:
    ALLOW       ANY     awips72.cira.colostate.edu      .*
should, instead, be
    ALLOW       ANY     ^awips72\.cira\.colostate\.edu$ .*
The third field is a regular expression. Note the anchors and escaped periods. 
Without them, host "awips72QciraPcolostateRedu.very.bad.host" would be allowed.
