[Moabusers] Reservation blocking jobs that request a specific feature?

[Douglas Wightman]

Is the feature named "-foo"?

The -f is the correct option to use, but the "-" in front may be causing
problems.  The easiest way to check is "showres -n" to verify that only
nodes with that feature are in the reservation.
