Jobs in the "scheduler" and "local" universe are spawned directly by 
the condor_schedd. The main difference between the "scheduler" universe 
and the "local" universe is that the "local" universe requires a 
condor_starter to be present (note: startER, not startD).

You may have scaled down Condor too far for your submit hosts. Make sure you
have condor_starter binaries available on your submit hosts.
