You were lucky?  :-)

Honestly, I don't know.  I'm surprised it worked at all.  Besided not
supporting memory-mapping, having the product-queue on a remote,
NFS-mounted disk places another layer of access-control between the LDM
and the product-queue.  The file /etc/fstab contains entries that can
prevent access even if the file permissions grant it.

You're welcome.  Contact me if you have any other problems.
