For the uninitiated,this sounds very much like an Open Science
Grid 0.4.0 install which in fact uses VDT 1.3.9a. (condor 6.7.13).

Is Condor installed and started as root?  what uid is condor running as?
What NFS options is /home/uscms01 directory exported with on
the server, and mounted as on the client?
There's probably something subtle in the condor config such that
the condor startd/starter doesn't have the right privs to
access the directory.

You might want to forward this question to osg-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
for the Community Support on Open Science Grid as well.
