Ok, the formula in my previous post tells you how to setup Condor so 
User A (in your case, SYSTEM) can submit a job as User B (diane).

What I failed to say is how to disable the (normally helpful) check that 
condor_submit makes to be certain a password is stored for the user 
running condor_submit.  After all, you don't care that SYSTEM does not 
have a password stored since the job will run as diane ... but 
condor_submit isn't smart enough to know that.

However, if you use the "-n <schedd-name>" argument to condor_submit, it 
will not do this "see if a password is stored" check.  So to get it to 
work, try

  condor_submit -n winxp-dev-01 Condor.submit

Another idea that may be even easier:  As user "SYSTEM", run
  condor_store_cred add
and just give it a bogus password.  Condor won't ever use it, but 
condor_submit will be happy when it looks to see that one is stored.
If you don't know how to open up a command window as user SYSTEM, see
  http://blogs.msdn.com/adioltean/articles/271063.aspx
which gives one way to do it (personally, i made a service that does it).

Good Luck!  Let me know how it goes...

If it helps, below is a screenshot of a successful test I did:


C:\temp\test>whoami
SYSTEM

C:\temp\test>hostname
tannenbaum-t23

C:\temp\test>condor_submit -n tannenbaum-t23 test.sub
Submitting job(s).
1 job(s) submitted to cluster 37.

C:\temp\test>condor_q
