I would remake the *.RAT files in the XCD output directory since your
listing of .RAT files below does not include the file SAOMETAR.RAT.
Then I would delete the file DCLSTIDX.PTR from the ~mcidas/workdata
directory.

Here is the sequence I recommend trying:

<as 'ldm'>
ldmadmin stop

<as 'mcidas'>
cd workdata
rm DCLSTIDX.PTR
tl.k XCDDATA              <- make sure that XCDDATA is still defined
dmap.k SCHEMA             <- make sure that SCHEMA can be found in the
                             XCD output directory
batch.k XCD.BAT
batch.k XCDDEC.BAT
dmap.k \*.RAT             <- make sure you have a full set of .RAT files

<as 'ldm'>
ldmadmin start

Hmm... I had never noticed that the files were different sizes on
Solaris and Linux.  I don't know why this is the case, but  I can
verify, however, that I see the same thing here at the UPC:
