Yeeees, and I bet i knew that, must have been the virus that made me use it - can confirm it does funny stuff (the '.' not the virus) :(

Thanks a lot for taking over thinking for me !!!!

Yay!

Yes, periods are not allowed in ClassAd attribute names.  From the HTCondor Manual at
    https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/misc-concepts/classad-mechanism.html#attributes
it states "Attribute names are sequences of alphabetic characters, digits and underscores, and may not begin with a digit."

So you could use an underscore in place of the periods, or just use camel case like you did above...
