If you change the entry in the "pqact" configuration file to use the PIPE
action instead of the EXEC action then it should work.  The entry can
also be simplified a little to the following:

EXP     ^([1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9])([0-1][0-9])
        PIPE    decoders/ua2nc
                decoders/etc/raob.cdl
                data/public/decoded/netcdf/upperair
                \1\2 

Good luck.

Steve Emmerson
