	You can submit an interactive job (or a normal sleep job and use 
condor_ssh_to_job) to get a shell in which you can expect condor_chirp to 
work.

	IIRC, chirp expects ClassAd strings, not ubmit file strings; try

condor_chirp set_job_attr_delayed Chirp_myThing '"string,with,comma"'

to see if that will turn into a string.  (Note that "a,b" will otherwise 
be an invalid expression, and "a.b" will be valid but most likely 
undefined.)
