Kevin,

[Tom's out of the office.]

Because the FILE action in the pqact(1) configuration-file uses an absolute 
pathname for the output file ("/data/gempak/..."), the value of the LDM registry
parameter "/pqact/datadir-path" is irrelevant: all HDS products will be filed
under "/data/gempak".

You could use relative pathnames in the pqact(1) configuration-file yet obtain
the same result by, for example, setting the aforementioned registry parameter
to "/data" and starting the pathname of the output file with "gempak/".

Given your pqact(1) configuration-file entry, if products aren't
being files under "/data/gempak", then something else is wrong.
