[Wien] Error in parallel execution

Tue Jul 27 17:47:22 CEST 2010

Worse of all is that the disks are correctly mounted, and that from the
command line I can do things like ls, even create and remove files. Only
from within lapw1para it gives me an error. I am starting to insert lines
with calls to unix utilities such as whoami in order to see what weird thing
is going on there...

Thanks all for the suggestions. If I track this bug down I'll let you know.

Cheers,

Marcos
