Hello Ben, thanks for the quick answer. 

I agree. My main issue is that I did not write the requirements: Condor did 
this for me, and in my opinion used the wrong operator (the case sensitive 
one, for comparing DNS names which should be case insensitive). Sorry if I was 
not clear in my original post. 

The Job submission template I use is the following: 

Universe = vanilla
Executable = c:\python26\python.exe
Arguments = somescript.py
Transfer_executable = False
Run_as_owner = True
InitialDir = c:\data
Log = c:\data\logfile.txt
Error = c:\data\errors.txt
Queue

I don't provide a "Requirements" line. My understanding is that specifying 
"Run_as_owner = True" in the job will cause the (HasWindowsRunAsOwner && 
(LocalCredd =?= "XS205803.MELINDA.local")) requirement to be automatically 
added to the job's requirements. That's fine, but the comparison used has to 
be case insensitive to avoid the problem I experienced yesterday.
