Let me make sure I understand the situation.  You are submitting 10 jobs 
and 9 of them are finishing successfully.  The remaining one is running 
to completion but is then failing to send back output files, which 
causes it to remain in the queue to be rescheduled.

If that is right, then first verify that there is nothing different 
about the job that is failing.  Presumably all the successful jobs are 
producing output files and successfully sending them back?  If file 
stage-backs are failing in general, then this is likely to be a 
different problem from the case where stage-backs are working for all 
but a fraction of your jobs.

If there is nothing special about the job, then check to see if the 
failure always happens when the job runs on a specific machine.  You can 
see which machine is executing a job by looking in the user log file for 
the job (whatever was specified by log = X in the submit file).
