Condor doesn't read any shell source files before invoking your jobs.  
Here are a couple things you can try:

* Add 'getenv=true' to your submit file. This will cause the job to  
receive the environment varaibles that were set when condor_submit  
was run.

* Make tcsh read the source files, either by giving it the proper  
command line argument or sourcing them directly in your script.
