Andrew,

When you submit the job and then run it TORQUE selects an available node 
where the job will be sent and executed by pbs_mom. If you want to 
guarantee where that script will be run you need to designate a host.

For example in your script add the following line

#PBS -l host=<host name>

I hope that works for you.
