you don't have to define any user beforehand. It will automatically be added if 
a user submits a job. It's purpose is to define a place, where the share tree 
policy can store the used resources over time. For such users there should be 
no "delete_time" in the entry.

You mean he sees no jobs of himself, as the default is to list only someone's 
own jobs? But `qstat -u "*"` will also list for him root as the owner.

Shot in the dark: in your installation `qsub` is owned by "root" and someone 
set the "setuid" bit (for whatever reason).

Very evil, as you can collect much information about other users and their 
files this way.
