You could use thr -V option to `qsub` to export the complete environment. But 
sometimes this leads to strange results to export all and everything, if you 
set something in the interactive shell and jobs fail because of this.

It looks like the default shell is /bin/csh in the queue definition in your 
case. You can adjust this to reflect the shell used most often.
