What is a "multiserver" ? Torque can only have a single server, as far 
as I know...

Do you have a scheduler ? Does it run ? It is the scheduler, which 
orders the jobs to start !
Anyway I don't know that file, maybe it's OSCAR-specific... can you run 
qmgr -c "p s" and tell us what's the Torque server ?

What's the version of Torque you're using ? Recently Torque is 
prefferably in /var/lib/torque ... and the config file is only read when 
creating the database for torque. After that first start, use qmgr to 
change parameters... and stop/start the services.

What you want is a submit host ?
Just add your submit host to server's /etc/hosts.equiv and install the 
Torque client package on the submit host.
