The ShadowLog file would hopefully contain the best clues, esp the 
section of the ShadowLog for the shadow instance that put the job on 
hold.  The ShadowLog will contain the job id and the shadow pid number 
on each line - from the schedd log below we see that shadow pid 30312 
for job 37.0 was the one that propagated the error, so that is the 
section of the shadowlog to focus on.
