Hmm, I'll have to think a bit about changing the arguments correctly.

This won't do you any good for this job, but for the future you might 
want to define maxjobs in a per-DAG config file.  Then if you need to 
change the maxjobs setting you can just do condor_hold/edit config 
file/condor_release.
