Is the following directory writeable to everyone/world/other:
/storage/remote/data1/sam/jim
Do any files already in exist in above directory with ownership of someone else.
Where does you program create the file called output_kludge?
Maybe it is created in a subdir, and then condor
can't see it to return it.
Sorry I have no time to study all your logs and apologies if
you have checked all the above.
