 Yea, that's right.

 Nope, the wrapper just sends all of the args sent to it on to the  
real condor_submit.
 "Failed to parse -a" comes from the real condor_submit..

But, that all said, Steve Timm direct-emailed me and notes "Sometimes
condor_submit_dag will send arguments to condor_submit with embedded
spaces, that is the trick."

he sent me his (bash, rather than perl) condor_submit wrapper, which  
I used as
a start to change mine from perl to bash, and now dagman seems to work.

Thanks for the help,
