[Moabusers] Consumable resource syntax problem

We have a software package (material studio) that uses multiple  
tokens based on what the user is doing, an example is

MS_dmol
MS_dsolid

A 4 cpu job will take 4 tokens of both,  we have setup scripts to  
talk to flexlm

The problem is for many submission lines to torque only one of the  
above tokens is tracked by moab,

First this is the only way that works and tracks both right now,

-l gres=MS_dmol+4%MS_solid+4

The following do not work, only MS_dsolid  will appear in checkjob:

-l gres=MS_dmol+4  -l gres=MS_solid+4

The one I really want to work, but doesn't for multiple features:

-l software=MS_dmol:4+MS_dsolid:4

I would prefer the above because it matches the node line:  
nodes=2:ppn=4+3:ppn=2,

Any insight how to best do this?  I don't like using gres, sofware=  
is much more descriptive.
Thanks, just a request.
