Description:
[ndbd default]
...
InitialLogFileGroup = name=lg; undobuffer_size=2M; undo1.dat:1G;
..

seems to be parsed as:
InitalLogfileGroup: name=lg; undobuffer_size=2M; undo1.dat:1G;

hmm spelling mistake?

Time: Thursday 16 July 2009 - 22:47:38
Status: Permanent error, external action needed
Message: Invalid configuration received from Management Server (Configuration error)
Error: 2350
Error data: Unable to parse InitalLogfileGroup: name=lg; undobuffer_size=2M; undo1.dat:1G;

How to repeat:
add 
InitialLogFileGroup = name=lg; undobuffer_size=2M; undo1.dat:1G;
to config.ini

please also theck 
InitialTablespace... if that is also has a spelling mistake.

Suggested fix:

problem was
1) stray ";" at end of config parameter
2) spelling error in *error message*

patch
1) allows stray ";" at *end* of config value
2) fixes spelling error in error message

Bugfix documented in the NDB-6.2.19, 6.3.26, and 7.0.7 changelogs as follows:

        Ending a line in the config.ini file with an extra semicolon
        character (;) caused reading the file to fail with a parsing
        error.
