You'll probably send another message to the mailing list saying that
things don't work properly. And I'll ask you again to gather all logs.
Then I'll tell you the same thing, which is that you should set a proper
maxwalltime for the job.

Read the swift documentation, in particular
http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/swift/guides/userguide.php#profile.globus
(how to specify the maxwalltime and what it means, and the meaning of
"maxtime" which has nothing to do with your job's maximum walltime).
