Robert,
Have you made sure that the paths listed in $GEMTBL/grid/gribkey.tbl
exist? The distributed gribkey.tbl file lists a directory of
"data/gempak/model/" for most products (the "data" directory should
exist in /home). This was a problem I encountered once. Files were being
generated, but they ended up not where I expected. The same applies to
the log file directory. Also, be sure that you created a decoders
directory with the "dc" programs (another mistake I once made).
I assume you've already checked for missing tabs in the pqact entries.
Otherwise, you should be getting the files (I'm running version 5.9.2,
but otherwise with the same entries...getting the files
written fine.

I am having problems decoding the NAM grid 212 and NAM grid 215 models
using the GEMPAK 5.9.3 suggested pqact entries (the ones shipped with
the distro). I also had the same problem with 5.9.1. I only want to
decode the 212 and 215 gris, so I have these entries:
# NAM #212 40km grid CONUS
HDS|CONDUIT (/mNAM|/mNMM|MT.nam|nccf/com/nam).*#212
PIPE decoders/dcgrib2 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_NAM212.log
-e GEMTBL=/usr/gempak/GEMPAK5.9.3/gempak/tables
#
# NAM #215 20km grid CONUS
HDS|CONDUIT (/mNAM|/mNMM|MT.nam|nccf/com/nam).*#215
PIPE decoders/dcgrib2 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_NAM215.log
-e GEMTBL=/usr/gempak/GEMPAK5.9.3/gempak/tables
#
However, nothing gets decoded. (I do see the files arriving).
I have to use the entry to decode all NAM models (I don't want all of
them) to get 212 and 215:
#HDS|CONDUIT|NGRID (/mNAM|MT.nam|^[LM]..... KWBE)
# PIPE decoders/dcgrib2 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_NAM.log
# -e GEMTBL=/usr/gempak/GEMPAK5.9.3/gempak/tables
#
I am not even seeing the logfiles (dcgrib2_NAM212.log,
dcgrib2_NAM215.log) being generated so maybe the pattersn for 212 and
215 aren't correct?
Thanks,
