[HTCondor-users] empty output directory locally retrieved while performing transfer to remote storage

[Benoit Roland <benoit.roland@xxxxxxx>]

    Dear all,
    
    when running with the configuration:
    
    use_oauth_services = helmholtz
    should_transfer_files = YES
    transfer_output_files = results
    output_destination =
helmholtz+https://dcache-desy-webdav.desy.de:2880//pnfs/desy.de/punch/benoit_roland/test_alexander
    
    the output directory "results" and its subdirectories are
    successfully transferred to the remote storage.
    
    The output directory "results" and its subdirectories are
    transferred to the submit node as well, with an empty content.
    
    Using a configuration with a remap:
    
    use_oauth_services = helmholtz
    should_transfer_files = YES
    transfer_output_files = results
    transfer_output_remaps = "results =
helmholtz+https://dcache-desy-webdav.desy.de:2880//pnfs/desy.de/punch/benoit_roland/test_alexander/results"
    
    solves the issue, namely the output directory "results" and its
    subdirectories are successfully transferred to the remote storage,
    and nothing to the submit node.
    
    I would like to ask you, if these behaviors are the expected ones,
    or if they point to some underlying issue?
    
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
    
    Cheers,
    ben
