Hi Thomas:

There's a couple of different options here -- if you have a shared 
filesystem between AP and EP, you can force file transfer on with

should_transfer_files = true


and then the job's pwd will be the scratch directory, etc.

Or, if you just want to set a bunch of environment variables to point 
into the scratch directory of a job, on relatively recent HTCondor's, 
you can put in your submit file

Environment = SOME_ENV_VAR=$$(CondorScratchDir)


and that will set SOME_ENV_VAR in the job to the value of the condor 
scratch directory.
