I'll be the problem is the fact that you don't have double quotes around
your value in the VARS definition, e.g.,

    VARS RunRJob        RPresent = "hello, world"

Also, $RETURN is only defined for POST scripts, not jobs, because it's
the return value of the job.

I guess condor_submit_dag should generate some error messages...  I'll
check whether it does in 6.7, at least.

That's another problem -- the node jobs *must* define log files -- if they
don't, DAGMan has no way to monitor their progress, because it does so by
reading events from the log files.
