Hi Alex -

Your understanding of how thing should work is correct.

So all the above works for me as expected IF I have the env var PFILES 
set to be "foobar" or something similar.  If I set PFILES to be the 
exact same string as you above, it doesn't work.  :(  I think the 
problem may have to do with the semi-colon or some other character 
tripping up condor_submit.  We will have to investigate a bit more today 
and come up w/ a work-around and/or a fix.

Do a "condor_q -l ..." to view the complete job classad for the job. 
One of the job attributes is "Env" which is the environment string that 
will be passed to the job.  All "getenv=true" does it is tells 
condor_submit to stuff the current environment into the job classad.
