Hmmm.. thanks for the info.  I hadn't realized that it was
non-reliable.   Network connection seems to be fine...just
ran some tests.  Machine load seems to be higher than normal
though so that might account for it. 

Running a whole ldm server is overkill for what I'm trying
to do.  ldmsend was more lightweight.  I had to move output
from a program that would only run on a certain machine to 
our main data server and ldmsend seemed like an easy way.
(NFS cross mounting was not possible in this case for 
various reasons.)

Actually, now I only need to use that data anymore on the
machine it is generated on, so I'm just keeping it local now.

Thanks for the helpful info.
