Condor traps stdout and stderr (output & error, respectively, in your 
submit file). Condor won't interfere with files your job writes as output.

If you have output=/nfs/share/someplace/somefile in a submit file, 
Condor will think it has the right to write somefile. If your job 
happens to want to write the same file, you'll have a problem.
