So it appears that using the  -jobs flag will cause moses-mert.pl to try to use 
SGE. 

Unfortunately, the moses jobs that get kicked off all die right away, with the 
following error message:
ERROR:ERROR: wrong format for switch -n-best-list file size

Looking at the log file where moses dies, it appears that the n-best-list 
parameter is being set to a filename, but there is no corresponding integer 
specifying the size of the n-best list.

Does anyone know how to properly configure mert-moses to prevent this problem?

Thanks,
Lane
