Excellent, that looks like the missing link I was looking for.

I suspect the -spool option for condor_submit that it refers to would be useful too.

Unfortunately I can't find condor_transfer_data in 6.6.6, looks like it is time I
updated the "Beast" release to something less apocalyptic.

Central + Submit node are 6.8, just that some of the workers lagging behind.

I have also been thinking of trying out this technique as an
alternative. I'll give it a go (probably need to upgrade first)
