[torqueusers] -lnodes=X ignored??

[Jeremy Enos]

I've got a 16 node cluster.  I'm using pbs_sched for a scheduler.  When 
I submit a job requesting multiple nodes, I only get one, ever.  I used 
the contributed torque.setup script to initialize my server.  I don't 
think it's merely a misconfigured queue or something though, as the job 
actually launches.  Per my understanding, what happens below by user 
jenos shouldn't be possible.  How does a job requiring 8 nodes actually 
get into the R state w/ just one?
