[HTCondor-users] Failed to get expiration time of proxy error message with condor 7.8.8 and globus 5.2.4 despite a valid proxy

[Shantanu D <shntn05@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
When I try simple condorg submissions,  ths jobs are held
and condor_q -l |grep -i holdreason shows
I get the message HoldReason = "Failed to get expiration time of proxy"

when I do grid-proxy-info, the last two lines show
path     : /tmp/x509up_u2355
timeleft : 478:57:40  (19.9 days)
which means I have a valid proxy.

The GridManager.Log file shows

06/11/13 19:31:08 [31930] Failed to get expiration time of proxy
/tmp/x509up_u2355

The permission bits are as follows
alexandria> ls -l /tmp/x509up_u2355
-rw------- 1 shantanu clustercosmo 3624 Jun 10 16:52 /tmp/x509up_u2355
All condor daemons are running as me

However condor was installed as root

For example,
alexandria> ls -l /usr/local/bin/condor_q
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 413134 Apr  8 09:38 /usr/local/bin/condor_q

I see this problem discussed in 2004
https://lists.cs.wisc.edu/archive/htcondor-users/2004-November/msg00145.shtml
and related threads.
However in this case condor daemons are running as me and I am
submitting the job.
So I don't know what could be causing the problem

There is nothing on the target machine about this job and nothing in
the local condor logs.
Also vanilla condor works fine

Is it that condor cannot recognize the proxy file?
Many thanks for all help
