condor_submit will add in the default requirement for filesystemdomain 
only if you don't explicitly set it in the job's requirements.

The idea is to make a requirements statement that references 
FileSystemDomain and yet always evals to true. Something like the 
following should work for you:

should_transfer_files = never
requirements = FileSystemDomain != "green_eggs_and_ham"

regards and welcome to condor-users!
