Hi Alex,

Based on the better-analyze results above, it looks like the startds are
rejecting the job. I would start by checking the startd policy at your
site.  There is more information about this here:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.8/3_5Startd_Policy.html

One culprit might be a bad Start expression. You can check the Start
expression of your execute nodes by running the following command:

condor_status -startd -format "%s" Machine -format ": Start = %s\n" Start

If the Start expression seems ok, then try looking through the negotiator
log on your central manager. It contains more information about why a
match isn't being made, but you may have to turn on additional logging.
There is more information about logging levels in section 3.3.4 of the
Condor manual:

Good luck!
