To start debugging this, first log in as user 'ldm' and change to the 'ldm' home directory so that you have the same environment as the ldm. Decoder problems often involve conflicts with permissions or ownerships. For example, maybe the decoder doesn't have write permission to the required directory. Check to see that your directories and files are owned by 'ldm'. Directories should probably be owner and group writable, so check that as well. If you don't find anything from this check, then you might try to determine which decoder is having a problem. You could go about this by simply executing the commands from the command line that pqact would execute. That is, take each command from pqact.conf and try running it yourself on the command line. Alternatively, you could keep commenting out lines in your pqact.conf file and rerunning the ldm until you find the line generating the problem.
