[Condor-users] Condor Shadow exception: Permission denied - why?

[Tanzima Zerin Islam <tz.islam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
 I am submitting a job to vanilla universe. I need to send condor_vacate_job time to time.
But recently, I see my jobs being in Halt state after I send condor_vacate_job signal.
The error message that I find in the log file is:


007 (002.000.000) 01/26 12:00:30 Shadow exception!
    Error from starter on slot1@xxxxxxxxxx: STARTER at xxxxxx failed to send file(s) to <xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; SHADOW at xxxxxxxxxx failed to write to file /var/local/condor/spool/cluster2.proc0.subproc0.tmp/tufa420.hmm: (errno 13) Permission denied
    424871712  -  Run Bytes Sent By Job
    424874688  -  Run Bytes Received By Job
...
012 (002.000.000) 01/26 12:00:30 Job was held.
    Error from starter on slot1@xxxxxxxxxxxx: STARTER at xxxxxxxxxxx failed to send file(s) to <xxxxxxxxxxx> SHADOW at xxxxxxxxx failed to write to file /var/local/condor/spool/cluster2.proc0.subproc0.tmp/tufa420.hmm: (errno 13) Permission denied
    Code 12 Subcode 13

I did not have this problem before, it is only recently that I see this shadow exception occurring. Could any of you have any idea whats
causing this problem? Just to test, I have submitted all my files with permission set to 777, but still this problem persists.

Thanks in advance.
