SSH forwarding is already working in my normal 'non-SGE' environment
through the  use of ssh-agent. The issue with the environment the job
starts and runs in. Since my key requires a password, I can't just add
those lines to the start of my job script.

I think the only solution is to configure passphraseless SSH between all
cluster nodes. I just wanted to confirm that, if possible, with others
before starting down that road.
