At first blush, it looks like whatever directory you specified as 
LOCAL_DIR in your condor_config file is living on a shared fileserver 
(such as NFS).  Try to make it a subdirectory on your local disk.  If 
you cannot (i.e. your machine does not have much local disk, or is 
diskless), then make sure the ownership of this directory is "condor" 
and/or the permissions are 01777.  I.e. ls -l should look like this:

ingwe.cs.wisc.edu{tannenba}8: ls -ld `condor_config_val execute`
drwxrwxrwt 2 condor condor 4096 Dec  8  2011 /scratch/condor/execute/
