It looks as if you have compiled a serial version of the code and so you 
will not be using both processors. You need to do:
  ./configure -mpp
in a fresh molpro source tree to configure a parallel build. You will
need the global arrays libraries from
http://www.emsl.pnl.gov/docs/global built with TARGET=HPUX64
Once this is built then running "molpro -n 2" will use both processors.

The input file that you gave  works on the HP-UX itanium machine that I 
have access to. Do the testjobs pass if you do:
  gmake quicktest
in the main source directory? Have you run ./patcher to install the 
latest patches.

molpro will use the directories specified by the -d flag in
bin/molpro.rc or the installed molpro script. These will default the
first defined out of $SCRATCH $TMPDIR or /tmp/$LOGNAME
