Hi Martha,
Sorry for the late reply; I was off skiing yesterday (Thursday is basically the
day I try to get out and ski :-)

OK. A quick comment is that the most likely error in pattern-action files is
the use of spaces where tabs are required.

A quick look at the pqact.thredds.txt file you attached shows the sort of error
that I alluded to above. Each action entry you have uses spaces where tabs
are needed. For example:
HRS ^[YZ].(A)... KWB. ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9]).*/m(AVN|GFS|SSIAVN|SSIGFS)
FILE
data/pub/native/grid/NCEP/GFS/N_Hemisphere_381km/GFS_N_Hemisphere_381km_(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2_\300.grib1
- the whitespace between HRS and ^[YZ]... must be a tab
- the whitespace before FILE must be a tab
- the whitespace before data/pub/native must be a tab
I have edited your pqact.conf.txt file and attached it (as pqact.conf) to this
reply.
NB: all I changed was conversion of spaces where tabs were needed. I did not
review
or touch the actions themselves.

'pqact' FILE actions will create the output directory structure _IF_ it has
write
permission for the directory(ies) to be created.

No worries.
Cheers,
