When are you kicking off your processing scripts?  It is possible that you are requesting data as
it is being received, and, so, are waiting for the data to arrive.  The ADDE timeout in effect
in your transaction may stop your McIDAS invocation before it is finished.  This hypothesis
fits with the incomplete image shown in your first example.

You can get an idea of the frequency of receipt of images using the McIDAS IMGLIST command:

DATALOC ADD SOUTH goessouth.unidata.ucar.edu
IMGLIST SOUTH/SH.-40

Try to make sure that your scripts are initiated right before a new image starts coming
in.  For instance, have the script run at 21:26 for the 21:15 image, etc.
