Tom,

The first command in the file doesn't have write permission. Execute the
command from the command line.  That's a good procedure to debug crontabs,
from the home directory with the exact same syntax.

The dir /d2-agwx/ldmdata/sfp have some file owned as root should be ldm.

The ldmadmin dostats is working. The *stats files are being deleted and
stats are being sent out. The ldmd.log files are also being rotated.
