[Moabusers] Node access policies and reservations

I'm attempting to configure Moab (5.1.0p4) & Torque (2.1.8) to create a
standing reservation for a few nodes which are intended for interactive
development and testing work.  These nodes will be shared, with multiple
different people running interactive and non-interactive jobs.

In torque, I'm configuring the nodes with "np=12" and setting up a queue
called "devhost".  Then in moab:

CLASSCFG[devhost]     QLIST=devhost QDEF=devhost
CLASSCFG[devhost]     MAX.WCLIMIT=6048000
CLASSCFG[devhost]     NODEACCESSPOLICY=SHARED
QOSCFG[devhost]       QFLAGS=USERESERVED:devhost
SRCFG[devhost]        ACCESS=DEDICATED CLASSLIST=devhost
SRCFG[devhost]        PERIOD=INFINITY
SRCFG[devhost]        HOSTLIST=zork22
SRCFG[devhost]        QOSLIST=devhost
NODECFG[zork22]       ACCESS=SHARED

However, jobs submitted to the "devhost" queue don't run, just sit idle
in the queue:

Node Availability for Partition mercury --------

zork22                   rejected: Reserved (rsv devhost required)
zork16                   rejected: Reserved (rsv devhost required)
NOTE:  job cannot run in partition mercury (idle procs do not meet requirements : 0 of 1 procs found)
idle procs:  13  feasible procs:   0

I'd assumed that I'd configured the QOS or SR incorrectly, but this
configuration works when I set "np=1" on the node.

Has anyone run across this?

Thanks

Michael
