	I thought we'd reduced the occurence of that message in newer 
version of HTCondor, but I don't know which version(s) people are using.

	The .update.ad file is used to convey updated information, via a 
ClassAd, from HTCondor to the job.  Failing to write the .update.ad is 
basically always a result of the update happening before or after the 
sandbox directory exists, so these errors don't cause problems.
