And I once again submitted a VM job to that machine the job force to 
hold state . The VMGAHPLog file shows these details

1) why creation of Snapshot fails. which file it is not found.


I try to some more time and I checked what are file got transfered to 
execute directory.
the VMX files are transfered to the /vm/local.grid3/execute/dir_xxx/ 
directory and then they are get deleted.

-rw------- 1      root      root                 0 Nov 24 17:53 
vmESrUqe_condor.vmsd
-rwxrwx--- 1 idealgrid idealgrid  656 Nov 24 17:53 vmESrUqe_condor.vmx

2) Is the permission of the files is creating the problem.
