Doh! There appears to be a bug in the store_cred code. It surfaces when 
the user name for which you are trying to store the password is an 
initial substring of "condor_pool". When this is the case, 
condor_store_cred thinks you are trying to set the "pool password" for 
use with the password authentication method (see section 3.7.3.3 of the 
6.8.2 Condor manual). In other words, condor_store_cred acts as though 
is was given the "-c" option.

As a temporary workaround before a fix for this problem is released, 
you'll need to change the name of the account that you wish to use for 
VMx_USER. For example, you could use an account name like "condor-run".
