The DIRFILE= keyword for DSSERVE is a regular expression for the file name(s)
to match for the dataset.  If you cut and past the pattern you specified
in the DIRFILE= keyword and use it as the pattern for an 'ls' command, you
will see if the set of files specified is correct:

<as the user you are running McIDAS as>
ls -alt /sepide/mcidas/ir/goes7.1990.001.*

If the 'ls' listing shows the files that you want in your ADDE dataset,
but IMGLIST shows nothing, it likely means that the files you have are
not McIDAS AREA files or they are somehow damaged.

Please try the 'ls' as I indicate above and let me know the results.
If the IMGLIST listing is empty, would it be possible for you to make
one or more of your files available so I can take a close look at them?

Cheers,

Tom
