Dear Lorenzo, Thanks for you suggestion. I think that would not work. Because the job is distributed randomly, I do not know which node it will lated at. I tried by setting outdir='./' and coy the INPUT file to $TMP then run it locally. In this case it write files locally, but I got an error which says "from davcio : error # 10 error while writing to file".
