I am note quite sure why it fails, but it may be related to 
JOBNODEMATCHPOLICY. What is you configuration for this parameter? We use 
EXACTNODE here and I would expect the MAXNODE limit to work better with 
it, but it is just a guess.

By the way, I see that you use Maui 3.3.1 with Torque 5. Did you patch 
Maui in any way to make it work with Torque 5? As I already said on this 
list, there are a few bugs related to Torque 5 which require patching 
Maui. The format of the "exec_host" job attribute has changed as well as 
the "jobs" node attribute. I inquired if anyone had a patch for these 
changes but did not get any response yet...
