Yes, you're right! We're using '-r' the way that we were in Condor 6.2. 
Comparing notes with others, it looks like we should be using '-n' to 
get the same results as we were before. Initial testing shows this seems 
to be working.

Can you elaborate a bit on '-r' vs '-n'?

Good to know ... if '-n' doesn't solve our problems, I'll try this. 
Thanks for your help Jaime!
