Makes sense, but unfortunately not allowed in this specific case. 
Expressions like the above are allowable in ClassAd expressions, and 
thus are allowed in condor_config parameters that are specifying ClassAd 
expressions (like Start, Suspend, Rank, etc), but are typically not 
allowed elsewhere.  Someday we hope to make this better / more consistent.

Maybe in the machines were it appeared to have succeeded have simply not 
(yet) attempted to fetch the value of TOUCH_LOG_INTERVAL ?  It is 
fetched on demand at run time.

Another idea: perhaps some machines in your pool are running an older 
version of Condor that doesn't look at TOUCH_LOG_INTERVAL ?
