Condor doesn't transfer files to the same directory on the other computer. 
From Section 2.5.4 of the manual:

If you want to use file transfer, this is a good section to read.

If your job expects to find files in a particular directory, it may be 
upset. Condor will make a directory that looks the same, run the job, then 
clean up the directory when you are done. This is a good way to go, but it 
requires that you don't hard code full pathnames in your program.

I don't have any experience with MW, so I can't help you with this, sorry.
