Did you ever try to call from an english Version? We started using Condor withMachines show up in condor_status, the queue can be queried with condor_q and the machines execute batch-jobs ok. The only glitch is, that I can't submit from Windows machines due to a faulty "condor_store_cred add" command (see my other mail from 2004-08-31).
The negotiatorlog and the schedlog on the master might be good points to start.Maybe you could point me to the right log-file/debug-setting to dig deeper into this issues.
Did you ever try to restart the condor service on one of the idle machines to see if it starts immediately? It's a crude way to see whether to look on master or client.

That seems to be the case, I think. But it is not consistent and I don't know where to look for hints on what might be wrong.
I do not think that i really understand Condor - like most other users I just bend it in a way that works for us ;-)
If you want, I could send submit-files and parts (or all) of the logfiles in question for further analysis by people who actually understand Condor. :-)
