Obvious question, but you have (had?) "Unclaimed" machines in your 
pool according to condor_status?

Try doing "condor_status -state" and see how long these Unclaimed 
machines have been Unclaimed (by looking at the StateTime 
column).  Perhaps these machines are being claimed and run jobs, but 
then immediately toss the job off?  Thus whenever you look, you 
typically see the machine Unclaimed and the job idle?  This could 
happen if, for example, the stdin file specified does not exist or 
something like that.
