The GSI authentication looks to be causing the problem. If condor_submit_dag is trying to authenticate to the schedd via GSI, it will need to use your proxy. But this shouldn't be a problem for two reasons.
1) It should be using filesystem authentication first, which shouldn't be failing.
2) When doing GSI authentication, it should respect the X509_USER_PROXY environment variable.

I may try to reproduce your problem, in case there are bugs that will bite other users.
