I don't know anything about the job hook code, but I'd be astonished if this worked anywhere else HTCondor allows you to specify an executable. Try specifying a single, specific file instead. (Note that the manual defines <Keyword>_HOOK_PREPARE_JOB as "the full path to the program invoked by the condor_starter before it runs the job". This is, the full path and nothing else.)
