Hi Ben,

Yet another quick commment while I wait for the committee meeting I am
in to start...

I noticed that your DATALOC settings in the 'mcidas' account pointed to
adde.ucar.edu for the RTIMAGES, RTPTSRC, and RTWXTEXT datasets.  Since
you are ingesting data and decoding it with XCD and ldm-mcidas,
those data are available locally.  So, I did the following to setup
local access to the data:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd ~mcidas/data
-- edit LOCDATA.BAT and setup local 'pointing' to datasets available
   on climate-db
cd ~mcidas/workdata
batch.k LOCDATA.BAT

Your McIDAS installation is not setup to use the various datasets
from your local store.

By the way, my impression that crontab actions for the user 'ldm'
were not running (previous message) was caused by me looking at
the set of data hosted on adde.ucar.edu, not on the local machine.
Your crontab actions are running as expected.

Cheers,

Tom
