Hi Hsie,

OK.

Yes, pnga2area will create the directory structure needed as long as
the user 'ldm' has appropriate permissions.  So, the question is if
~ldm/data/sat/SOUNDER can be created by 'ldm'.

There does need to be an action in ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf that will decode
the floater images into the directory structure specified in LSSERVE.BAT.

There should only be one action in pqact.conf.  I would leave the first
action in place and delete the second. After making the change to
pqact.conf, run:

ldmadmin pqactcheck
 -- if this shows no errors then run:
ldmadmin pqactHUP

Cheers,

Tom
