Not that I can think of/find.  The ldmd.conf simply states EXEC pqact

There was a version specific path found in the 6.1 etc directory for the 
file ldmadmin-pl.conf, where it stated the 
$LDMHOME="/usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.1.0

But I don't think that was our problem since echo $LDMHOME already stated 
/usr/local/ldm

Right.  I'm not sure why we had a version specific previously, but on the 
new build I tried to not have one, only after I ran into this problem did 
I create a link from the 6.3 subdirectory to $home/etc.  The pqact that 
has the _old extension on the data coming in through the EXP file types is 
found at /usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.1.0/etc/pqact.conf (no symbolic links) where 
the one I want to be using is /usr/local/ldm/etc/pqact.conf
