It looks like there's no param to quiet that warning.

   http://condor-git.cs.wisc.edu/?p=condor.git;a=blob;f=src/condor_submit.V6/submit.cpp;h=857b53fb4e14a59635ff213eaef81be17720ccc2;hb=refs/heads/V7_4-branch#l4620

You should only be getting that warning if the statfs or statvfs calls are failing.

Will you first check and see if debug output says anything about "detect_nfs", e.g. "statfs(/home/username/SWUS/job-log.txt) failed: ???/???"?

   http://condor-git.cs.wisc.edu/?p=condor.git;a=blob;f=src/condor_util_lib/fs_util.c;h=509520e2da1e364c7fde92a78fa0e59bdb06b72c;hb=refs/heads/V7_4-branch#l158

Try: echo "cmd=/bin/true\nlog=/home/username/SWUS/job-log.txt\nqueue" | _CONDOR_TOOL_DEBUG=D_ALWAYS condor_submit -debug -dump /dev/null

If the debug output doesn't do the trick, will you include information about what binaries you are using, on which platforms, and maybe information of what statfs returns when pointed at /home/username/SWUS? See the statfs.c below. Seems like it would be useful to ship a diagnostic tool to gather such information. I wonder if the VDT has one.

Best,

$ cat statfs.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/vfs.h>

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	struct statfs buf;
	if (statfs(argv[1], &buf)) {
		perror("statfs");
		return 1;
	}

	printf("f_type(%s) = 0x%X\n", argv[1], buf.f_type);
	return 0;
}
$ gcc statfs.c 
$ ./a.out /tmp
f_type(/tmp) = 0xEF53
