Three things:

1. Make sure you use "machine name" with the right quotes (you've got them
mixed up above)

2. Remember the classad for a machine has two entries, name and machine:
Name = "vm1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Machine = "node01.cs.wisc.edu"

3. It is not enough to just put the Name="something" into the submission
file, you need to put it as part of the requirements expression:

requirements = TARGET.Machine=="some.hostname.at.my.site"

(note the == instead of the = )
(also, you can usually leave off the TARGET. part, but it's always good 
practice to include it)
