Strange this never used to be the case, for our cleaning we used to  
have to loop over all nodes because only one mom (the first one)  
would run epi or pro.

They must have changed this.  Could you not do something like:

MOTHER=`cat $PBS_NODEFILE | sort | head -n 1`

if [ $MOTHER -eq `hostname` ]; do
    g_charge
done

?  I have not dug around these in a while, but you could parse qstat - 
n1 $JOBID also for the first node.  Its a hack but it should work.
