Nevermind. The only problem appears to be that I was missing quotation

MYTHINGY = "blah"

Then it works. Condor just silently ignores the line rather than give an
error?

It's not an error. They just mean different things.

MYTHING = "blah"

Means: set an attribute named MYTHING to the string value "blah".

MYTHING = blah

Means: set an attribute named MYTHING to be a reference to an attribute named blah. The reference isn't resolved until MYTHING is used in an _expression_ IIRC.
