This looks like the kind of message I get when I try to create a queue
on a disk partition that's remotely mounted.  Are you positive that
/usr/local/ldm/data/ is not remotely mounted via NFS?  You can tell
this by running the command:

  df -k /usr/local/ldm/data/

on the same host you are running the pqcreate command, and making sure
the output indicates a local rather than a remote disk.

If that's not it, then I'm not sure what is going on.  We'll try to
get a large disk hooked up to our SGI so I can investigate this
further.
