Hmmm... still not working. Looks like the only way I'm going to figure this out is if I can browse the server's file system to see where these folders and files are ending up.

• If I set local_file_root_prefix to "Websites/MySite.com/LDM" it accepts it but the directory isn't where it should be (can't find it).
• If I set local_file_root_prefix to "Websites/MySite.com/wwwroot/LDM" it accepts it but the directory still can't be found.
• If I set local_file_root_prefix to "/Websites/MySite.com/wwwroot/LDM" it accepts it and creates the directory where expected (on site). So it seems the leading forward-slash is needed.
• If I set local_file_root_prefix to "/Websites/MySite.com/LDM" it complains that it can't write to that location.

My guess at this point is that I need the leading forward-slash but that I have a permissions issue. I'll talk with my hosting provider about what can be done on this.

Another odd thing I ran into. When I go to the Add an Entity page while signed in as an admin and click the "Uploadable filetypes and size limits" down-arrow below the Browse button it says my size limit is 2 Mbytes. If I do the same with a standard user account it say 47.68 Mbytes. Same file type in both instances. I set the attachment size for the file type to 50000000 in the vB CP. I don't know why it is displaying 2mb for an administrator and 47.68 mb for a regular user. Either way, if I select a file over 2mb the upload bar goes red and it says file too big. This may be due to the PHP max upload limit on my server. But I don't understand why an admin is getting a different max upload in the drop-down than a regular user. I can't find where in the permissions I might have screwed this up.
