So, there's nothing relevant in the file "/var/log/messages/ldm_errors.log"?

Does that file even exist? Does it have a timestamp that's consistent with the 
last attempt to EXEC a script?

Then it's likely that the cause of the problem is that the systemctl-created 
environment differs from the interactive, logged-on environment.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with systemd(8).

Does the "User=ldm" line cause the LDM user's profile-file to be sourced? If 
not, then that could be the problem and you might try replacing the "ExecStart" 
and "ExecStop" entries with

    ExecStart=/bin/bash -l -c 'ldmadmin start'
    ExecStop=/bin/bash -l -c 'ldmadmin stop'
