Hi Richard,

The problem has nothing to do with your script per se -- there are
currently only 11 nodes managed within the default itrda queue:

  $ ssh itrda
  $ pbsnodes -a | grep state | wc -l
  11

So, please either log on to "ao" or "geojr" (the other active ACES head
nodes -- which I demonstrated in the examples in my email yesterday) or
submit your jobs using syntax such as:

  $ ssh itrda
  $ qsub -I -l nodes=1 -q @ao

that will let them run in queues that have more nodes.  For more
information on the commands above, see the ACES web pages, "man qsub",
and "man qstat".

ps - Please don't cc: me when sending emails to this list.  I get 
     enough copies already.
