What version of Condor are you using?
How are you invoking condor_submit (aka command line args?) and what 
does your submit description file look like?

In the absence of something to look at, one completely wild guess is you 
are using 7.4 or earlier, your submit file has "log = 
/somewhere/on/nfs", and your nfs volume is slow or the nfs lock daemon 
is timing out when condor_submit tries to write a submit event into the 
 specified log file after it already handed the job to the 
condor_schedd daemon.  To test this wild guess, try submitting without 
the "log = " line and see what happens.

hope the above helps,
Todd
