Hi,
[LOG:2013-07-21 11:10:49] job_id = self.extractJobId(output)::received raw output: Invalid allocation "NO_ALLOCATION".
This indicates that you didn't specify the allocation when submitting the job. Try to use the --allocation option when submitting, e.g.:
sim submit <other options...> --allocation=loni_cactus08
You can set this also within simfactory (file simfactory/etc/defs.local.ini), but if you already have a configuration compiled it might be an easier test to specify it on the command line.
