LDM6.0.14 pqact.conf question

Recently, my site was attempting to configure LDM to get data for the GEMPAK 
decoder package.  
We added the lines from the examples, specifically:

ANY     ^SDUS[2357]. .... ([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

to the pqact.conf file, and got no data at all in the appropriate directories.  
Amending the lines to 

ANY     ^SDUS[2357]. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9])
        FILE    -close  data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3

got lots of radar data, but not seperated in the way GEMPAK expects.  Since 
then, we have noticed that none of our pqact.conf lines which include the 
"/p" construction (which, if I'm not mistaken, is supposed to tell pqact to 
jump down and start reading the second line of the header) seem to work at 
all.  Is this a known problem, a change in syntax from when the examples were 
written, or what?

Thanks for any help you can give.
