Hi Stephan,

this seems to be the cause of the problem:

| gc3.gc3libs: DEBUG: Executed local command 'qacct -j 80319', got
exit status: 1
| gc3.gc3libs: ERROR: Failed while running the `acct` command. exit
code: 1, stderr: '/opt/gridengine/default/common/accounting: No such
file or directory'

GC3Pie is trying to use the `qacct` command to get information about a
recently-finished job, but the command returns an error.

You need to ask your cluster sysadmin what's the local incantation
equivalent to `qacct -j 80319` in standard SGE, then we can work out
how GC3Pie can be configured to use that instead of `qacct`.

Is this issue still current/relevant?
