if i understood u well,then u r trying to pass some env variable from ur submit machine to executables on remote machine
then u can add a line in ur submit file
getenv=True
and then write a simple wraper may be shell script/batch file to pass those env variables to ur desired executable from that wrapper
You can send more details so the proper problem could be sort out
