I"m not sure if this is your problem or not, but we recently put a linux 
kernel patch up on or web page that addresses the opposite, namely, that 
Condor doesn't detect condole usage and doesn't switch to Owner state.  
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/kernel.patch.html  My gut-level feeling tells 
me that this isn't related, though...

Actually, after thinking more about it, I'm curious as to what you have as 
your START expression set to, and do you have CONSOLE_DEVICES set in your 
condor_config?
