I think that is likely. I've always set CONDOR_CONFIG explicitly in my
init.d/condor script (or made a symlink to my real config file in
/etc/condor/condor_config).

Try the symlink?

I'm including the /etc/init.d/condor script that I've used without any
trouble on a few different flavours of Linux. See below. I've always
installed it with:

  chkconfig --level 345 condor on
  service condor start

And it's worked find on reboot. One thing you should check: make sure
your current run level is sufficiently high to start Condor. Just run:

  runlevel

And you'll see what level you're at. If you've only told Condor to start
a level 5 but you're running a 3 or 4 (because you don't want all the
user services and X started) that could be your problem.

Hope that helps.

# To customize, all you need to do is edit the MASTER line below.
