Is this Emacs 21?

One thing you can try:

1. Start Emacs, and check what the value of org-agenda-align-tags-to- 
column is.

2. Create an agenda, then check again.

3. do C-x C-e in the line in pdm-org.el as you described, and then
   check the value of the variable again.

This should tell us something.
