[torqueusers] qhold not functional

[Al Taufer]

It seems that the code is returning an error message when it should not 
be returning one.

The documentation says  that for a running job if checkpoint / restart 
is not supported, qhold will only set the requested hold attribute. This 
will have no effect unless the job is rerun with the qrerun command.

You should be able to verify that the hold is still being placed on the 
job by using 'qstat -f' and checking the Hold_Types value.
