It looks like this is a Globus job. Condor won't remove the job from  
the queue until it knows the job has been canceled on the remote  
side. It's putting the job on hold to tell you that it can't talk to  
the remote side for some reason. If you want to take the job out of  
the queue anyway, you can run 'condor_rm -f <jobid>' while the job is  
in X state.
