Are these files on a shared filesystem?

All files that happen to be referenced in the shell environment are 
certainly not automatically copied to the execution node.  All 
getenv=true does is copy the environment variables you had when you 
called condor_submit so that the job runs with the same environment 
variables.  Using getenv=true is useful only if the values of PATH, 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and other relevant environment variables in your 
submit-time environment are the correct values to use when running the 
job from the execute machine.
