You are *submitting* the job as anayar1, but is it actually running as 
that user?

I encountered this error recently and the job was actually being run as 
condor in the working directory of the job
which was identical to the submit directory of the job.  By adding 
'transfer_files=ALWAYS' the
job instead staged everything to the temporary spool directory in 
condor's home, which allowed the job to run as condor.

When I looked a bit more at the log files, I noticed that it was 
complaining:

7/15 12:46:34 Submitting machine is "localhost.localdomain"
7/15 12:46:34 ERROR: the submitting host claims to be in our UidDomain 
(dek-vmware), yet its hostname (localhost.localdomain) does not match

This lead me to notice that I had set CONDOR_HOST different from 
UID_DOMAIN and FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN,
which may help explain the problem.

Unfortunately the Condor manual is somewhat vague about what the working 
directory of the job is; it refers to several different locations and 
you have to read quite closely and experiment to recognize that the 
working directory is determined by FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN and UID_DOMAIN 
matching.
