unfortunately, this won't work right now.  the reason is that by default
there are no methods of authentication in common between unix and windows,
and putting a job on hold requires authentication.

no.

however, if you don't care about authentication but just want this to work, you
can add the CLAIMTOBE authentication method to both the windows and linux.  or
if you do care about authentication, you'll have to wait until we finish adding
kerberos or GSI authentication to the windows version.
