After changing the EXECUTE path in the condor_config file(s), did you 
restart the condor service?  (i.e. as root do /sbin/service condor stop, 
then /sbin/service condor start?)

The HTCondor daemons do not continuously poll the config files for 
changes; most times when you make a change in the config file, you need 
to tell HTCondor to re-read it either via "condor_reconfig" if it is a 
setting that can be changed on-the-fly, or via restarting the condor 
service (killing all condor daemons and restarting them) if the setting 
cannot be changed on the fly.  Most settings that involve filesystem 
paths cannot be changed on-the-fly.

regards and hope this helps,
