It appears from the command "grep local /etc/*syslog.conf", that
you don't have an entry in the syslog(8) configuration file that
tells the logging daemon where to put messages from the "local0"
facility.  The file needs to have an entry like

local0.debug<tab>/home/ldm/logs/ldmd.log

where "<tab>" denotes one or more tab characters.  See
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/preinstallation.html#syslog.conf>
for more information.
