'workingDirectory' cannot be null

The full error text (ie from SAM) looks like this:

org.glite.ce.common.db.DatabaseException: Rollback executed due to: Column 'workingDirectory' cannot be null

Cause : CREAM could not create, or could not access, the "sandbox" directory for the job. Here those directories are in

/data/sourcream/<unix.groupname>/.... 

One possible cause is, that the ownership and/or permissions of the parent directory are not correct.

Here is an example of correct permissions for submitters with a vanilla atlas proxy (mapped to unix group patlas):

drwxrwx--- 3 tomcat patlas  4096 Feb 16 11:26 patlas
