Yup.  ;)  See below.

If you look at all of the above, you'll see:

1. Your job's requirements specify 'Arch == "INTEL"'
2. While there are indeed some INTEL/LINUX machines in the pool, they are all 
in the "Owner" state, and thus won't run jobs.  The others are all "X86_64", 
which (as far as Condor is concerned) different that "INTEL".

So, what should you do?

1. Look at the START expression on the 32 bit, see why they're all in the 
Owner state.
2. Allow your job to run on "INTEL" and "X86_64" machines (after all, these 
are "INTEL" binaries, and should run on either IA32 or X86_64, right?).  You 
can do this by adding something like this to your requirements expression:

Requirements = (  (OpSys == "LINUX") && ((Arch == "INTEL") || (Arch 
== "X86_64" ))  )

This will for Condor to match your job to machines with the Arch attribute 
as "INTEL" or "X86_64".

Hope this helps
