Glycerin does not give ash. It burns 100 % to water
Ash from most sources is mostly the oxides of alkali and alkaline earth metals.
On addition of
water they hydrolyze to form hydroxides (lye or some such).
for example calcium present in the sawdust becomes CaO, calcium oxide which
when wetted becomes
Ca(OH)2, slaked lime.
The metals are
it, but
your plants can.

Pure glycerin or glycerol (same chemical) contains only carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen: C3H8O3. All the combustion products are gaseous (unless
there is a little coking) so it should not produce any ash. The ash will
come from the sawdust.
High school chemistry *is* good for something.

I have been burning Glycerin sawdust logs to heat my little laboratory
and now I am wondering if I put the wood ashes in my compost pile will I
be messing anything up or will the byproducts that remain in the ashes
be good for the compost bugs. I searched the archive but did not find
anything

I don´t know this for certain as I´ve done no testing of byproduct ash but I think you can put most anything organic into a compost pile and have it degrade. It´s been usedfor hazardous waste treatment of some fairly nasty things like heavy fuel oil, chlorinated organics solvents,
