In order to get CRAB 1.1 and higher to work with the RB, you need to do some configuration. There are two files which need to exist, and three env variables that need to be set.

export EDG_WL_UI_CONFIG_VAR=$CRABDIR/cms_edg_wl_ui_cmd_var.conf
export EDG_WL_UI_CONFIG_VO=$CRABDIR/cms_edg_wl_ui.conf
export LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS=exp-bdii.cern.ch:2170

I put these lines in a script which can be sourced by the user who wants to do RB submission.

The text of the configuration files follows:

# This file /opt/edg/etc/cms/edg_wl_ui.conf is managed by LCFG. Do not modify!
#

[
VirtualOrganisation = "cms";
NSAddresses = {"gdrb08.cern.ch:7772","gdrb06.cern.ch:7772"};
LBAddresses = {{"gdrb08.cern.ch:9000"},{"gdrb06.cern.ch:9000"}};
## HLR location is optional. Uncomment and fill correctly for
## enabling accounting
#HLRLocation = "fake HLR Location"
## MyProxyServer? is optional. Uncomment and fill correctly for
## enabling proxy renewal. This field should be set equal to
## MYPROXY_SERVER environment variable
MyProxyServer = "myproxy.cern.ch"
