OK, this looks acceptable for the Cloud Top Pressure CIMSS product.

This looks OK as well assuming that the directory data/images/test is
writable by the user running the LDM. How about specifying that
you want verbose logging so we can what pnga2area has to say for
itself:
# Regular Unidata-Wisconsin Imagery
MCIDAS ^pnga2area Q1 .. .... (.*) (.*) (.*) (........) (....)
PIPE -close /usr/local/ldm/decoders/pnga2area
-a /usr/local/ldm/ldm-mcidas-7.6.3/etc/SATANNOT
-b /usr/local/ldm/ldm-mcidas-7.6.3/etc/SATBAND
-vxl /usr/local/ldm/logs/satarea.log
data/images/test/\3/\4_\5

I used the logging location from this in the suggestion to add logging to
the pnga2area invocation.

We need to know if pnga2area is exiting early. If it is, you would see
'broken pipe' messages in ~ldm/logs/ldmd.log. If that is not happening,
I will be very suprised to say the least since a notifyme to your
machine shows that you are receiving the PNG compressed GOES images
from the Unidata-Wisconsin stream:

After we verify that there are 'broken pipe' messages in ldmd.log, we need
to examine verbose pnga2area log output to find out why it is exiting early.
