Ok, it looks like these ran correctly after all.  I'm a bit perplexed
why the Director reports 11242 as being lower priority, but at least it
worked as designed.  Extracted from llist jobs:

           jobid: 11,239
             job: Unix_crank-va-4.2009-03-20_15.39.55

       starttime: 2009-03-20 15:40:02
         endtime: 2009-03-20 15:40:20
     realendtime: 2009-03-20 15:40:20

           jobid: 11,240
             job: Unix_puffer-va-3.2009-03-20_15.39.56
       schedtime: 2009-03-20 15:39:48
