Any suggestions?

You should be starting Condor as root but using the configuration option CONDOR_IDS to tell condor which user and group to su to after it has started up. This ensures that the daemons aren't running as root, but that Condor has the root privledges it needs to su to other users to get work done. The details are laid out here:
