Log files are a special case -- you are not allowed to use macros in log 
file names for DAGMan node jobs.  That's an error in the manual.  From 
DAGMan's point of view, though, it's fine for all of the jobs to have the 
same log file.  So unless you have some requirement of your own that each 
job have its own log file, you can just use a fixed log file name for all 
of your jobs.

Hopefully if you do that, it will be a solution to your issues.
