What version of Condor do you have? Can you provide the var/log/osgmm.log?

I thought we have already removed the sudo/chmod feature (it is not a 
great way to do it - I will remove the code for 0.7). The preferred way 
to do this is to have a pre script that fixes the permissions. See 
local-pre-job in http://osgmm.sourceforge.net/ar01s03.html#job
