I would add the "-flush" option to your pqact(1) configuration-file entry
but, other than that, your entry should do what you want.  If multiple
data-products are being appened to the file, then I suspect that either
another pqact(1) configuration-file entry is responsible or that another
pqact(1) process is running.
