Try setting:
 
USE_VISIBLE_DESKTOP = True
 
In the local configuration file on the machine. I think this might need
a full re-start of the startd on that machine to take effect. It might
be that Excel expects to find a visible desktop session in order to run
your macro, or maybe it's stuck with a prompt and waiting for a
response. At the very least you'll get to see Excel when the job runs on
the box and that might make debugging the problem a little easier.
