You have to be very careful here. You don't want to do either of your
suggestions in this case because they would both result in you making
your clients look like the server image. I think this would cause all
sorts of problems, like having pbs servers running all over the place. 

You want to just push the changes out that are applicable to the client
nodes. You can do this with cpush, buy you need a more explicit list of
files than "/". You can also do this by installing the proper packages
directly into the image that you already have (assuming OSCAR 1.2.1)
with the -r flag on the rpm command and then issuing update_client on
the client nodes using cexec. Caveat: The update_client that shipped
with OSCAR has a bug, you can get the fixed one from SystemImager's cvs
tree.
