I agree. I seem to recall Gandalf saying something along the lines of 'Frodo has passed beyond my sight now,' in Minas Tirith, though I do not remember the exact text. The possible antithesis to this notion, however, could be supported in part by Galadriel saying, 'I perceive the Dark Lord and know his mind,' in "The Mirror of Galadriel," which would seem to suggest that the wise of Middle-earth could with thought penetrate the proverbial clouds that conceal Mordor. Galadriel's statement may or may not apply to the case of Frodo and the Ring, since we do not know whether she could in any way communicate with or 'see' Frodo once he was in the Black Land.
