Hmm.  One approach might be to create a custom resource (as described in

http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/v8.7/3_7Policy_Configuration.html#SECTION004711200000000000000) 


on each machine for jobs that use fuse-mounted filesytems (or maybe only 
for fuse-heavy jobs), and only allow some small number (one?) of jobs 
that need fuse mounts to run concurrently on those machines.
