In Condor, machines pick which jobs they're willing to run, just like  
jobs pick which machines they're willing to run on. Matching a job to  
a machine is bi-lateral. That is, the requirements of both much be  
satisfied. condor_q -analyze is telling you that none of the machines  
are willing to run your job. This is expressed in the 'Requirements'  
expression you see in condor_status -l.
