Error concerning missing -V option when submitting job on LoneStar

I used the following command to submit an ET testsuite job on LoneStar. The intention is to run on 1 process with 6 threads.

sim --remote lonestar create-submit maxwell_1proc_2 --testsuite --procs 6 --num-threads 6 --walltime 4:00:00 --ppn-used 6

and got a weird error. SimFactory didn't report any error or return a nonzero exit code, even though it was unable to determine a job ID. I repeated the submission, and the second time it worked, so the fault appears to be intermittent. There was no difference in the submit script in each case, apart from the job name.

The log file is attached, but the final error message from the log file is:

Full log.txt file is attached. The job was not submitted.

The weird thing is that I do have -V in my submission script. The file /scratch/00915/hinder/simulations/maxwell_1proc/output-0000/SIMFACTORY/SubmitScript has

#! /bin/bash
#$ -A TG-MCA02N014
#$ -q normal
#$ -r n
#$ -l h_rt=4:00:00
#$ -pe 1way 12
#$ 
#$ -V
#$ -N maxwell_1proc-0
#$ -M ian.hinder@aei.mpg.de
#$ -m abe
#$ -o /scratch/00915/hinder/simulations/maxwell_1proc/output-0000/maxwell_1proc.out
#$ -e /scratch/00915/hinder/simulations/maxwell_1proc/output-0000/maxwell_1proc.err
cd /work/00915/hinder/Cactus/EinsteinToolkit
/work/00915/hinder/Cactus/EinsteinToolkit/simfactory/bin/sim run maxwell_1proc --machine=lonestar --restart-id=0

Any ideas?
