Then it's bets to start with the qmaster.

Only the exechost? Then I suggest to reinstall the qmaster on the head node 
with the version you want to use on all exechosts.

It's quite usual to mount /usr/sge (or alike) and /home in the cluster and have 
only SGE's spool directory local (e.g. /var/spool/sge):
