Just put +varName = value in the submit file or put
varName = value in condor_config.local and add to
the STARTD_EXPR (depending if you want vars from
machine or from job perspective)

My suggestion is to strip the dependencies of the file and
transfer them along with it. I'm doing that in the GUI
(will be released later today or tomorrow) + it's also
done in the maya_render example on the condor site.
