[torqueusers] DRMAA problems

[Joerg Blank]

Hello,

I recently converted our cluster from SGE to Torque. We have some scripts which
use DRMAA to launch and wait for jobs and I'm currently trying to adapt those.

Unfortunately I encountered some problems with the Torque drmaa library. Some
parts of the job options are not accepted by Torque. Especially the whole
implicite working directory settings are missing (automatically set output path
to cwd). It also does not seem to accept joinFiles and nativeSpecification.

I usually use DRMAA via python-drmaa but the tests included in torque also fail.

I'll include a example "qstats -f" output where I set explicitly output and
error path via drmaa.

I also tried the pbs-drmaa library, which shows the same behaviour. We are using
Torque 2.5.8.

Regards,
Joerg Blank
