When you press C-c C-c at a property drawer or at a property drawer,
you are presented with e menu.  What option do you select?

This must mean that your file pdm-org.el is not read at all, or
not read in time for the agenda construction, or that the setting
is overwritten in some other place, for example by a
custom-set-variables form in another init file.

Or maybe you have first

(org-agenda-list)

in .emacs, and then

(load-file "~/pdm-org.el")

or some trick like this?

I do not remember this one, can you send a link to the message?
