It actually turned out to be something on my end.  The modification actually 
works. :-)

As Rayson guessed, I am using Hadoop.  I actually didn't know that OpenMPI was 
integrated with Torque but we're moving away from using Torque.  In terms of 
making the code public, I'll have to double check, but there weren't too many 
changes involved.

Excellent.  What mechanism are you using to start your jobs?  Would it
be easier to fork the rsh plm into your own plugin?  Is this code you
can share with the community?

The PLM just starts up jobs -- other plugins are used for MPI
communications.  E.g., the TCP BTL is probably what you're using for
MPI communications.  Is that where it's failing?
