Right here, you see that your Linux box is in "Owner" state, and that's why 
it's refusing to start jobs.

Look at the START expression defined in your condor_config. If it's using the 
UWCS_START expression, it's looking at "KeyboardIdle", "CPUIdle", and the 
"state".  For testing, just set your START to "TESTINGMODE_START" (or just 
plain "True" would be fine).  Look at 3.6 "Startd Policy Configuration" in 
the manual for more info on this.

There are also implied requirements on a submission.  condor_submit added the 
memory, imageesize & HasFileTransfer ones for you, but they're not causing 
your problems; the fact that your Linux box is in "Owner" state is.

Hope this helps
