Set DAGMAN_LOG_ON_NFS_IS_ERROR to false in your configuration, that will 
let things run...

(I'm surprised that you ran into this upgrading from 7.3.x, unless your 
configuration changed in the upgrade.  The check for DAG log files on NFS 
has been in place for a long time, since 6.9.x or so if I remember right.)
