Sreedhar,

It sounds like Moab and TORQUE aren't talking to each other. I think the best way to resolve this would be to open a ticket with Adaptive Computing, and the support people can give you more dedicated service than you would from emailing the TORQUE users list. I have some basic familiarity with Moab (since I work for Adaptive) and my suggestion would be to check out what 

mdiag -R -v 

tells you. That'd probably be best included in the contents of the ticket you create with Adaptive though.
