I'm not exactly sure what's going on with condor_configure, but I do
know that it has been known to cause problems.  Assuming that it's ok to
blow the new contents of LOCAL_DIR away, I'd go to /viewstore/condor and
'rm -rf log spool execute', then (as user condor) 'mkdir log spool
execute'.  Then try starting the master as root.

BTW, you don't need to set CONDOR_IDS at all if you have a condor
account.  I don't think that's related to your problem, though.
