For GT4 GRAM jobs, if StreamOut and StreamErr aren't explicitly set to  
False in the job ad, then Condor assumes you want stdout and stderr to  
be streamed, which isn't supported by Condor for GT4 GRAM jobs. This  
appears to be a bug, as the default behavior for other job types is no  
streaming.

If you add the following two attributes to your job ads, it should  
eliminate the problem:
StreamOut = False
StreamErr = False
