[molpro-user] Parallel Molpro on a SGE opteron cluster : licence problem

Dear all

I am trying to run parallel molpro on our Opteron cluster using SunGridEngine 
(SGE) as a queue manager.

Without SGE everything works fine, at least if the master from which I run job 
is in the PROCGRP file.

As soon as I try to use SGE, I receive the following message from each 
process :

!LICENCE! Password missing on licence token

I tried to 
	- export MOLPRO_KEY
	- put the key in ~/.molpro/token
	- give the key (with and without "") with the -k option of molpro
nothing helps.

My submission script (has you can see below) just builds a valid PROCGRP file 
from the nodes given by SGE and export PROCGRP.
Then I simply use the command
	molpro input_file
to run the job to reproduce what I am doing without SGE.

Does anybody here have an idea on what's going wrong ?

Many thanks !
