Useful information. Thanks.

Can I ask: are these standalone XP installs? Where you have a local
account on the machine? Or are these XP installs that belong to a
domain? Where you have a domain controller that stores usernames and
passwords and the machines use this machine to do authentication when
someone logs in.

Is diane a local account on the machine or a domain account? If it's a
local account I *think* you need to go to every node in your pool and
store your password there for the diane account using condor_store_cred.
If it's not a local account the condor_credd server approach should
work.

Yea, that line above is making me think you're using local accounts, not
domain accounts. I'm not sure how credd caching fits together with local
accounts.

It'll be on the XP node in the log directory. That might reveal more.
And the ShadowLog is on the schedd machine in the log directory.
