Notice the 'Submitting machine is "(null)"'?  That, to me, is the smoking gun.  
I can't offer an explanation as to what's causing it, but it's certainly 
where I'd start digging.  Almost certainly something is messed up in your 
schedd or it's configuration.

Just a thought; is the host name and IP properly setup?  It seems that we've 
had a number of issues with OS/X /etc/hosts not being properly setup or 
something like that.
