Sometimes this happens because there was an error running you job for some 
other reason (so the job didn't run, a kickstart record wasn't generated 
and it couldn't be transfered). Have a look in the log file for an error 
earlier than that (or put the log files online some so I can look).

What machine are you running on? Have you changed any configuration 
parameters? A basic 1000 job workflow should run fine with the default 
settings.

On the machine you are running on, type   ulimit -a   and paste that here.
