Are you specifying "thisshouldwork.txt" as your executable?  If so, I 
would not expect it to work.  Does it work from the command prompt 
without involving HTCondor ?  (my guess is no).  Instead of

   echo "It Works"

you probably want

   #!/bin/sh
   echo "It Works"

and then do chmod 700 thisshouldwork.txt (to set the executable bit). 
This is life on a Linux/Unix environment, nothing specific to HTCondor here.

Take a look at
 http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/quickstart.html
I think you will find it helpful at getting started, it covers the above 
issues.

In looking at the log below, it looks like you submitted the job to 
HTcondor' "standard" universe, which you likely do not want to do 
(unless you have the C or Fortran souce code to your program).  Instead, 
you want the 'vanilla' universe, by placing the following into your 
submit file:

   universe = vanilla

(This is the default on recent HTCondor installs....).

Hope the above helps,
Todd
