[Moabusers] Running a moab simulation

I'm trying to run a simulation on moab, but every time I run moab it just
exits right away and the job I scheduled in my workload trace doesn't seem
to have run.

I'm not quite sure how to set up the resource and workload traces, and what
fields are essential to getting a simulation to actually run at all (I can
then worry about making it reflect the hardware and everything I want to
simulate later, but first I just need it to work).

My workload trace just has these two entries:

00:00:20_01/01/00 946710020 job 1234 jobcreate 1 1 root root 86400 \
> Completed [batch:1] 946710010 0 0 ethernet x86_64 Linux >= 0 >= 0 \
> - 0 1 -1 - - - /opt/moab/tracefiles/testprogram - -1 0 [DEFAULT] \
> 1 0 0 0 0 0 - - - - - - - 0.0 - - - - - -
> 00:00:30_01/01/00 946710030 job 1234 jobstart 1 1 root root 86400 \
> Completed [batch:1] 946710010 0 0 ethernet x86_64 Linux >= 0 >= 0 \
> - 0 1 -1 - - - /opt/moab/tracefiles/testprogram - -1 0 [DEFAULT] \
> 1 0 0 0 0 0 - - - - - - - 0.0 - - - - - -
>

and my resource trace just has these:

COMPUTENODE AVAILABLE 1 Node001 PBS 27580 6442 100000 2 -1 -1 -1 Linux \
> x86_64 [NONE] [batch:1] [ethernet] 1.0 [NONE] [NONE] [NONE]
> COMPUTENODE AVAILABLE 1 Node002 PBS 27580 6442 100000 2 -1 -1 -1 Linux \
> x86_64 [NONE] [batch:1] [ethernet] 1.0 [NONE] [NONE] [NONE]
>

and my moab.cfg:

SCHEDCFG[Moab]        SERVER=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:xx MODE=SIMULATION
> ADMINCFG[1]        USERS=root,root
>
> SIMRESOURCETRACEFILE  tracefiles/resource.trace
> SIMWORKLOADTRACEFILE  tracefiles/workload.trace
> SIMSTOPITERATION  0
> SIMSTARTTIME 00:00:00_01/01/00
> SIMSTOPTIME 12:00:00_01/01/00
>
> RMCFG[base]          TYPE=PBS
>


Are there any obvious mistakes I'm making?

Thank you for any time you can spare to help someone new to Moab,
