The LSF job manager (lsf.in in the source code) doesn't preserve spaces in environment variables. That is, if there is an environment variable like: OSG_CITY="Norman, OK" Then the job will see it as: OSG_CITY=Norman, This is easily fixed by adding quote marks around environment variables in lsf.in. I'll attach a patch to do this. This is affecting OSG users, which is why it came up. Thanks, -alain ps I couldn't figure out what Component to label this as. I might have chose GT2 Gatekeeper/jobmanager, but it also affects GT4, right?
