Good. This is verified by seeing that the Master does indeed start up the 
condor_startd:

So that's good. But we can see that the STARTD exited shortly thereafter:

When we look in the StartLog, we see the reason:

> 344 in file util.C

This tells me that for some reason, START is no longer defined in your 
configuration file, or there is a syntax error in the definition. You 
should look for where you define it, and make sure that it's set to 
something. A simple setting would be:

START = TRUE

Then restart Condor and you should be set.
