You are quite correct, they are completely different animals.

Using the time honoured method of quickly scanning the FAQ and then making 
sweeping and possibly incorrect pronouncements on a project about which I 
previously knew nothing I reckon that the Java based project is actually both 
a Resource Manager (like PBS/Torque) and a batch scheduler (like Maui/Moab 
from SuperCluster/ClusterResources).

For instance, their FAQ says:

http://mauischeduler.sourceforge.net/FAQ-2.html#ss2.4

# 2.4 Where do I install the various RPMs? 
# 
# The Maui Scheduler "server" RPM should be installed on one node of your 
# cluster that you've decided should be the control node. 
# 
# The Maui Scheduler "client" RPM should be installed on interactive nodes of 
# your cluster from which users will submit jobs and query system status. 
# 
# The Maui Scheduler "drone" RPM should be installed on all compute nodes of 
# your cluster where batch jobs are run.

So it looks like it's intended to be the complete kit to run jobs on compute 
nodes on a cluster.

Looking at their CVS tree and files to download it looks a bit, umm, slow on 
the development front, the last release was 2003.
