Could you send me the output of the DSSERVE command and the output of: DATALOC LIST NEXRCOMP re: see what 'ls -alt value_you_set_dirfile_to' gives you for a list >-rw-r--r-- 1 ldm ldm 14208533 Oct 28 20:38 n0r_20021029_0227 This looks good, although I would have assumed that if you used the 'value_you_set_dirfile_to' as the 'ls' object, that your list would have been had more than one entry especially given your comment: >I have files that are 14 MB big in the N0R directory. OK. >I says Satellite Sensor derived still... >Still wondering Something is (obviously) just not quite right in your NEXRCOMP dataset setup. I say this because I can point at your machine (presumably weather.cod.edu) for the RTPTSRC dataset and see that it is populated: DATALOC ADD RTPTSRC WEATHER.COD.EDU Group Name Server IP Address -------------------- ---------------------------------------- RTPTSRC WEATHER.COD.EDU <LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory.
