The root-cause of your problem is that the value of the environment
variable LDMHOME was "/usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.1.0" when version 6.3.0 of
the LDM package was built:

    $ grep LDMHOME ~ldm/src/config.status
    s,@LDMHOME@,/usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.1.0,;t t
    ...

This is causing the 6.3.0 LDM system to use the wrong directory as the
root-directory of the LDM system.

The solution is to rebuild the LDM 6.3.0 packge with LDMHOME either
unset or set to "/usr/local/ldm".  For example:

    $ su - ldm
    ...
    $ cd src
    $ make distclean
    ...
    $ LDMHOME=~ ./configure &>configure.log
    $ less configure.log
    $ make &>make.log
    $ less make.log
    $ make install &>install.log
    $ less install.log
    $ ldmadmin stop
    ...
    $ su root -c 'make install_setuids'
    ...
    $ ldmadmin start
