It seems you and Simon agree about how TORQUE is working. Following is 
what I have in qmgr.

#
# Create queues and set their attributes.
#
#
# Create and define queue batch
#
create queue batch
set queue batch queue_type = Execution
set queue batch resources_default.nodes = 1
set queue batch resources_default.walltime = 01:00:00
set queue batch enabled = True
set queue batch started = True
#
# Set server attributes.
#
set server scheduling = True
set server acl_host_enable = True
set server acl_hosts = l18
set server acl_hosts += L18
set server acl_hosts += kmn
set server managers = ken at kmn
set server operators = ken at kmn
set server default_queue = batch
set server log_events = 511
set server mail_from = adm
set server resources_available.nodect = 1024
set server scheduler_iteration = 600
set server node_check_rate = 150
set server tcp_timeout = 6
set server log_level = 6
set server mom_job_sync = True
set server keep_completed = 30
set server next_job_number = 100

Whenever I do -l nodes=x:ppn=y where x is greater than 1 I still only 
get one node allocated to the job.
