[Moabusers] nodeindex question

I have a small moab/torque setup for testing where four of the available 
compute resources are
x86_64 quad core nodes in an Oscar cluster. Another compute resource is 
a 8-way ia64 shared
memory system that is also running a torque mom daemon and is listed in 
the torque server's nodes file.

When I run mdiag -n -v on the headnode I get the following output back:

Total Nodes: 5  (Active: 0  Idle: 5  Down: 0)


Notice that over in the very last column of the output there are 
"NODEINDEX" entries for the four nodes of the distributed
Oscar cluster but no nodeindex for the ia64 shared memory system. Why is 
that? According to the documentation I have
found so far in section 5.2 of the MWM guide:

NODEINDEX     node's nodeindex as specified by the resource manager 

If that is true why hasn't torque specified a nodeindex for the shared 
memory system?
