Judging from the above log entries, I'd say that host usgodae3 isn't
on-line, isn't running an LDM, or isn't making it's LDM visible.  I
don't see anything that indicates a problem at your end.

What's the fully-qualified hostname of usgodae3?

Can you ping(1) that host?  For example

    ping usgodae3...

(use the fully-qualified hostname).

What does an ldmping(1) of that host show?  For example

    ldmping -vl- -h usgodae3...
