You probably want ShouldTransferFiles = IF_NEEDED & WhenToTransferOutput 
= ON_EXIT in your submit file.

7.2.4 is very old at this point, can you upgrade?

Here are some instructions you can follow, they're for Fedora, but if 
you pretend apt is yum and, with 7.2.4, you throw everything in 
~condor/condor_config.local instead of /etc/condor/config.d, everything 
should work.
