[Condor-users] ERROR: Failed to set Owner="<username>" for job <job ID> (13)

[Sean Manning <seangwm@xxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

  I'm a new user who is trying to get up to speed on a number of grid 
computing programs including Condor.  I'm trying to submit a very 
simple job, but getting an error message that condor has failed to set 
the owner and failed to queue the job.  (I think I understand the 
warning about saving the log file on NFS, although not why that is a 
problem).

  Here is the output when I try to submit a job:

[seangwm@babargt4 ~]$ condor_submit test.sdf
Submitting job(s)
WARNING: Log file /hepuser/seangwm/test.log is on NFS.
This could cause log file corruption and is _not_ recommended.

ERROR: Failed to set Owner="seangwm" for job 5110.0 (13)

ERROR: Failed to queue job.

  That is the end of the output.

  Here is my submit description file:

####################
# First Test of Condor Submit Description Files

Executable = test.sh
Input = condor.in
Output = condor.out
Error = condor.err
Log = test.log

  I've checked the archives and man pages and haven't found anything 
particularily helpful.  Does one of the veterans here have any ideas?

Thanks,
