OK, here's problem number 1.  Yes doesn't really tell me anything. I have
to trust that you performed the step right.  What would be better would
be to paste the actual steps you used to determine this.

However, moving on...

OK, first of all, you need to log in as a user graphically first on 
the ldm.  I don't see an indication that you've done that.

Alt-f2 isnt a standard login.  Normally the text screen's on alt-f1. Could
you please reply with the contents of your lts.conf file?

This leads me to believe that you logged in as root on the thin client,
in the graphical login screen, and I specifically don't allow root
to do so in part of lbmount, so this may be your problem.
