This looks like the user running the LDM doesn't have write permission
for the output directory (or for /newdata).

>The pathnames are correct, so I'm a little confused.  Any ideas?

Check the permissions on the directories and see if you, as 'ldm', can
create the following file:

touch /newdata/xxx
touch /newdata/images/xxx
touch /newdata/images/sat/xxx
etc.

Thanks, Tom.  Stupid me recreated the directories as root.  Anyway,
it works now!  Thanks for all you help.
