The error is indicating that the McIDAS-XCD ingestor that reads binary data (model output), ingebin.k, is being started and is then exiting rapidly. This ingestor writes to the HRS.SPL file, and HRS.SPL is found through a file REDIRECTion in the 'mcidas' account. So, looks like the ingebin.k process not able to write the file /var/data/mcidas/HRS.SPL. I suggest stopping the LDM and making sure that all of the LDM processes have exited, and then restarting it.
