[Mauiusers] NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY MINRESOURCE not working

[Steve Young]

Hi,
	I'm not sure about NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY since I have mine set to  
PRIORITY. But I did wonder how you had your nodes listed in the torque  
server_priv/nodes file. I'd make sure that the 8Gb nodes were listed  
first before the 24Gb nodes. Just a thought. Hope it helps.
