Hello, I have what could be a major problem soon. I have a snapshot that was created by an ndmpd session, that cannot be deleted. It looks like the backup must have failed, but the netapp thinks it is still running. Any ideas on how to delete the snapshot_for_backup.19?

See the toasters thread "Deleting snapshot" in early September. Supposing that "ndmpd status" shows the ndmpd session gone, then this would seem to be the same problem. Stephen Manley told us then that the problem was probably 20847, which is fixed in OnTap 5.3.6. What release are you using?
If that is your problem, you will have to reboot before you can delete the snapshot. :-(
Actually, 31340 is the preferred reference to this bug now, not 20847.
There's lots of interesting reasons for this.
Hmmm. No, actually, there aren't.
When you call CS, just refer to burt 31340. It'll save them the time/trouble of mapping from 20847 to 31340.
