I bet Zach was wrong--probably the HOSTALLOW variables were set to * 
already, right? Or something sufficiently open anyway.

Condor assumes that DNS (or /etc/hosts) is set up so that for all machines 
in your Condor pool:

1) Names can be resolved to IP addresses (foo.example.com -> 128.135.20.10)
2) IP addresses can be resolved to names (128.135.20.10 -> foo.example.com)

Any machine in your pool is expected to be able to do this, not just the 
submit node or the central manager.

A common problem is that one or both of these doesn't work right. Condor 
will check the HOSTALLOW settings but it do some DNS lookups as part of 
this to ensure that everything looks good. When the DNS lookups fail, it is 
usually reported as a permission denied error. (Maybe we should have a 
better error message!)

So this is a possible reason that you are getting permission denied errors.
