Very good.

I was under the impression that you were processing (FILEing) the NEXRAD
Level III data using an LDM pqact.conf action, not the McIDAS-XCD DMNEXR
method.  If my remembrance is correct, you should check your LDM log file(s)
(either ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log or ~ldm/logs/ldm-mcidas.log) to see what is
happening.  Since I do not use or recommend the use of the McIDAS-XCD Nexrad
data monitor, DMNEXR, I can not provide much help if you are using it and
having problems.

OK, so DMNEXR is running (NEXRFILE), so you are apparently processing the
NEXRAD Level III data using it instead of an LDM pqact.conf action.  In this
case I would assume that your 'mcidas' user has a REDIRECTion for the NEXRAD
Level III file name(s).  I would check the REDIRECTion and dataset definition
to make sure that nothing is amiss.  Please remember that in order for the
ADDE serving of the data to work, McIDAS must be able to find the files 
referenced
in the dataset definition.  This would be done by one of three methods:

REDIRECT
MCPATH
DIRFILE= keyword in the ADDE dataset definition

Check your ADDE dataset definition to see which method is being employed and
run the appropriate checks to make sure that it is correct.

Cheers,

Tom
