Harry,

I am using in 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/tutorial/pqact/images.tbl:

##########################################################################
# NIDS Data from NOAAPORT
##########################################################################
NEXRAD  ^SDUS5. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(...)(...)
        FILE    -close  data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/\5/\4/\4_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3

This will create products using the PIL names like:
data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/FTG/N0R/N0R_20010108_1843

Since the PIL names don't overlap the WSI product names (eg N0R versus BREF1),
these names will be unique if you store them in the same tree as WSI products.
