I just tried that, and I get the same error.

Interestingly enough, a shorter (and incorrect) version
of the command works well enough so that it gets into the
Match1 code and does the argument check there.

The following code gets into Match1:

>>> command = ['python', '../src_python/Match1.py','--filex="xyz"']
>>> sub1 = subprocess.Popen(command)

whereas this doesn't even get to call Match1:

command = ['python','/data/svn_workspace/cmm/sieglind/USC/EE569/tpaper/test/../src_python/Match1.py ', '--file_ref=MISR_AM1_GRP_ELLIPSOID_GM_P228_O003571_BF_F03_0024.hdf ', '--file_cmp=MISR_AM1_GRP_ELLIPSOID_GM_P228_O003571_DF_F03_0024.hdf ', '--block_start=62 ', '--block_end=62 ', '--istep=16 ', '--chmetric=M2 ', '--use_textid=true']

sub1 = subprocess.Popen(command)

Can anybody see a reason for why the abbreviated version works, and
the full-up one doesn't?

I get the error below.  Does anybody know what this error refers
to and what I'm doing wrong?  Is it even allowable to call another
script as a sub-process rather than calling it directly?

File "../src_python/Match4.py", line 24, in RunMatch4
   sub1 = subprocess.Popen(command1)
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 593, in __init__
   errread, errwrite)
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1051, in _execute_child
   raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Try supplying a fully-qualified path to your script, e.g.:
['python /home/catherine/src_python/Match1.py ', '--file_ref=MISR_AM1_GRP_ELLIPSOID_GM_P228_O003571_BF_F03_0024.hdf ', '--file_cmp=MISR_AM1_GRP_ELLIPSOID_GM_P228_O003571_DF_F03_0024.hdf ', '--block_start=62 ', '--block_end=62 ', '--istep=16 ', "--chmetric='M2' ", "--use_textid='true '"]
