I take it that the problem is similar to:

   ssh otheruser@localhost "parallel --joblog foo ..."

Try:

    mkdir /tmp/foo; touch /tmp/foo/log; chmod 666 /tmp/foo/log
    ssh otheruser@localhost "parallel --joblog /tmp/foo/log ..."

If you have access to a database:

    parallel -Sotheruser@localhost --sqlandworker
pg://user:pass@host/db/tbl 'id;echo' ::: 1
    sql pg://user:pass@host/db/tbl "select * from tbl;"
