IndexError: list index out of range

The following error came up when processing a chunk of obsids. It appears that some datasets do not have any orb files.
Error handling will be needed to address this particular situation.

At present autoxte is retrieving all of the 00 dataset directory from heasarc, however per https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xte/start_guide.html
there are multiple directories that can be outright removed as they not necessary or useful.
Those are as follows:

• "ace"
• "acs"
• "clock"
• "eds"
• "fds"
• "gsace"
• "ifog"
• "ipsdu"
• "pse"
• "spsdu"

This will also make filling time wrangler datasets faster, as it uses a recursive glob that slows significantly when having to navigate for .evt files through multiple directories.

Currently autoxte only pulls and barycenter corrects .evt files from prnb-##-##-00 collections.
But, some obsids have prnb-##-##-000 data collections which from a more general standpoint, can contain much better data.

Functionality needs to be added so that the 000 datasets can be retrieved and prepared for further analysis.
