Is it possible to rip a dvd from a frontend machine?
Yes. As a matter of fact, the only way to rip from a backend-only
machine is using something other than Myth.
When I try running mtd -n from a shell it gives the output listed
below. Is this a setup problem on my frontend or am I just trying to
do something impossible. There is no DVD reader in the backend and
it is not readily accessible so not really an option to do from there.

You need to configure your frontend machine (
http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-10.html ). If you've already done
this, make sure you're starting mtd as the same user that starts
mythfrontend.
