Just a guess, but by default, the "Name" of the condor_master daemon on 
a machine named X is X, but the Name of the condor_startd daemon on a 
machine named X is not X, but it will be slot1@X, slot2@x, etc. Take a 
look at the "Name" attribute with condor_status of the daemon ads you 
are trying to locate.

Also be aware that when the condor_master receives a reconfig command, 
it will forward that reconfig to all its children, so sending a reconfig 
to the master will also reconfig the startd.
