I just managed to get PBS/Torque/Maui working on an in-house cluster, but I am still having a little misunderstanding. I am very new to this, so any help is appreciated... if it's something obvious, odds are that I am missing it.

When I qsub a job in /home/user1/folder1/ (let's call it myjob) it submits OK but gives the following error:

  /var/spool/torque/mom_priv/jobs/20.headnode.SC: line 11: /home/user1/folder1/myjob: No such file or directory

Now this comes as no surprise, particularly since these are all separate computers with no shared disk. NFS is not set up and neither is any other shared filesystem thing... GFS, PVFS, whatever. Just plain old white-bread ext3 (the whole system is CentOS 6, based RHEL, btw).

Do I need to set up some kind of shared-space mechanism in order to use PBS/Torque/Maui? Or is there some way to have it forward the required data? For what it's worth, the basic /home/user1/ directory exists on all machines, but e.g. folder1 may not exist, and the file definitely won't (unless we require users to manually make directories and scp files before doing qsub... yikes!).

Any help is really, really appreciated.
