If I run this on the command line, I get the same result as your Condor is
giving (Whitebox
Linux)

If I run it on cygwin, it gets confused with the % (presumably windows
interaction).

Putting single quotes around the date part seems to work on the command
line:

/bin/sh -c 'date +%s'

Maybe sh is gobbling the +%s, thinking it is one of its options.
BTW I think double quotes would also do the trick.

Does this work?
