This is probably a little clunky (the Condor developers may have a more 
ideal solution), but this should get the job done in your case:

1) Create an empty file in the submit directory (foo.txt)
2) Define should_transfer_files, etc. in your submit file:

should_transfer_files = true
when_to_transfer_output = on_exit
transfer_input_files = foo.txt

3) Add the line

+TransferInput = "$$([MY.ProcId+1])_input.in"

4) Submit away. It should grab your input files from [1, N] instead of 
from [0, N-1].

Note: The file foo.txt never gets transferred, it is merely a place 
holder so that you don't get the "can't open file" message.

Cheers,
David
