That's all good and normal.  

As you've probably noticed, running pbs_server before starting MOMs
doesn't work well because pbs_server will spend a long time blocked
trying to initially contact nodes.  Best is to start MOMs first.

No, -t create just initializes the server database
($PBS_SERVER_HOME/server_priv/serverdb).
