Just out of curiosity, how do you specify a file delete in an RFT transfer file? I suppose I could always submit a dummy GRAM job and use the cleanup tags to get the same effect, but I'd like to be as efficient as possible I guess.
Use rft-delete instead of rft. http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/data/rft/rn01re02.html
Your other idea about the sysadmin type script is a good one, I think. In fact, since GLOBUS_SCRATCH_DIR can be set to a different value for each different installed scheduler, might it make sense to modify the appropriate scheduler provider to report this scratch dir information? That would keep things organized nicely in the central MDS store, I would think.
That seems like a good idea, though I don't know if that would wind up messing with their schemas. The GLUE schema they use should already have an area to report disk space available on the various file systems. I'm not sure if/how it is populated by default, but I think you should be able to do that without having any schema trouble.
