My submit file (called "run_condor_MPICH1.no_files") is:

Universe                = parallel
run_as_owner = true
Executable              = run_condor_MPICH1.no_files
arguments               = cpilog_minimal.exe
machine_count           = 1 
should_transfer_files   = yes
when_to_transfer_output = on_exit
transfer_input_files    =
\\indplly1\userdirs\JeffreySJ\Condor_Jobs\cpilog_minimal.exe
Queue

The MPI executable is "cpilog_minimal.exe" is on a Samba share that is
accessible by both the central manager and execute machine. The
executable does not read an input files or write any output files.

The shadow log on the central manager contains:

The shadow log on the execute machine contains (I think this is from
when condor was started on that machine, not when the MPI job tried to
start):
