Hmm -- even in the "old days" the -condorlog file was not the file
that DAGMan writes to.  Condorlog was the file that the node jobs
write to; now there can be multiple user logs for the node jobs.
The log file for the dagman job itself is specified in the submit
file:

    log = <some file name>

Can you explain in a little more detail what you're trying to do with
this?
