If you add it to the advertised startd attributes you may be able to
force it into the job's environment. I'm not 100% certain this will work
so try it out. Add the following to your machine's configuration file:

	STARTD_EXPRS = RELEASE_DIR

And now try and make this part of your job environment by adding the
following to the submit file:

	environment = CONDOR_RELEASE_DIR=$$(RELEASE_DIR)

That may or may not work. I use a similar approach to put the VM # into
an env var for my jobs. So I can say this definitely works:

	environment = CONDOR_VMID=$$(VIRTUALMACHINEID)
