hmm, not quite sure i follow, since we're only sending to ia64
on this run...how can i test?

ha ha, what swift can't run jobs on a site that's down?
lame! heh, actually we've had a couple of runs now where we
see the behavior i described on ncsa--e.g. a few jobs
completing but some failing and an eventual decline. though,
it's true the site's been up and down quite a bit over the
past few weeks so could be indicative of something else wrong
entirely. incidentally, i told them a couple weeks
ago i was having trouble submitting to gram4 so we switched
back to gram2 and it *seemed* to be working...for a while.

well, we're trying on yet another site now so if we see more
of the same we'll know we need to do *something* on our end. 

thanks
