i may have spoken too soon. I was able to run startd manually without 
any error messages. But when i do a "ps ax", it's nowhere to be found. 
Seems like it exited immediately. I checked the log and the same error 
message is there:

This is the same error message in the StartLog as before  when I was 
having problems with the --classpath option. I also left the JAVA 
atttribute blank in the condor_config file. It seems the problem
is not with java. Any idea what the error message may mean?
