This sounds odd and I'm not exactly sure what you're saying.

There is a difference between the commands

    sudo -c "/home/ldm/bin/ldmadmin stop" ldm

and

    sudo - -c "/home/ldm/bin/ldmadmin stop" ldm

The first one executes in the environment of the superuser
while the second one executes in the environment of the
LDM user.  Could this be the cause of your problem?

Otherwise, could you please give me a short sequence of 
steps to duplicate your problem.
