You must set the path in .bashrc. See 
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#adding-ompi-to-path

Make sure:
ssh 130.60.49.128 which orted
works. If it doesn't, there is something wrong with the PATH.

Often this means that there is a version mismatch. Do all the nodes have the 
same version of Open MPI installed? Did you compile your application with 
this version of Open MPI?
