So the other lapw1's doesn't even start. This is useful information, 
although I am not immediately sure of the consequences. I will be 
guessing, though...

What I mean is: When you log in on condmat2, do you have the same home 
directory as on localhost? You can test this with "touch file_of_zero" 
on localhost, then see if it is also present on condmat2.

When you set up Wien2k, it modifies your .cshrc (csh configuration) and 
sets a SCRATCH environment variable. Does the directory in this variable 
exist on all machines?

What do you get from "echo $SCRATCH" on localhost and condmat2?

What do you get from "echo $path" on localhost and condmat2?

When you log in on condmat2, can you execute lapw1 manually? Try, in a 
shell: "which lapw1", and if it gives you a response, try "lapw1". What 
is the result?

<snip> Your .machines is ok, I think.

Best regards,
Torsten Andersen.
