Hello

Maybe you can use a torque epilogue script  to delete the empty .o .e 
files for that user:
http://www.clusterresources.com/wiki/doku.php?id=torque:appendix:g_prologue_and_epilogue_scripts.

However, for a single user, a "cron" shell script to sweep his directories
and get rid of empty files, say, once a day, may be a more sensible 
solution.
