[Xastir] Level III radar mosaics are back

[Gerald Creager]

Seems we've had another little problem. I'm trying to free up space, but 
I've now got a programmatic requirement to hold 90 days of radar data. 
The gotcha is, on a multiterabyte RAID shelf, mounted using NFS, if you 
discover you need to do an 'rm -rf <some multiterabyte directory>' it 
takes an inordinate amount of time. AS soon as I can get the system 
cleaned out, I can get back to the serious business of providing WMS 
services for you. I'm working as fast as I can on it! Really!
