METAR netcdf in McIDAS

Hello,
I am testing the netcdf metar decoder at my site.
So far, I am able to run:
/usr/local/ldm:>metar2nc -v etc/metar.cdl data/METAR < testdata.wmo
and I get:
/usr/local/ldm/data/METAR
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ldm staff 16384 Aug 8 13:03 02081707_metar.nc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ldm staff 41048 Aug 8 13:03 02081708_metar.nc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ldm staff 35199 Aug 8 08:58 metarLog.10636.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ldm staff 754 Aug 8 08:58 metar.lst
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ldm staff 0 Aug 8 10:12 rawmetars.11347.nc
We do not run XCD.
I have spent some time trying to find the missing link.
Which is how to make these metar.nc files available to
the McIDAS ADDE server.
Which DSSERVE command do I have to issue?
With:
DSSERVE ADD GTS/METAR NCDF TYPE=POINT
DIRFILE='/usr/local/ldm/data/METAR/*_metar.nc'
INFO=NCDF_PNT.CFG
I get:
PTLIST
GTS/METAR.1
PTLIST: Unable to read parameter labels from server
PTLIST GTS/METAR FORM=FILE 1

Pepo -
Try putting an explicit path in the INFO= keyword in your DSSERVE
command. I tried INFO=NCDF_PNT.CFG and got the same error that you are
seeing, but when I tried INFO=/home/beckys/NCDF_PNT.CFG, everything
seemed to work fine.
