Since I've dealt with this problem before...

The file exists with zero size because it was the "Output" parameter
in the submit file.  It was created with zero size when the job was
submitted.

One other note: this happens much more often on the CAE pool in the
early morning when their Windows nodes are being rebooted.  Something
with the jobs being evicted seems to trigger this problem more often.

You might check if any of these jobs were being evicted at the time.
