RVIC grid script doesn't properly format walltimes greater than a day #45

The RVIC grid script outputs a number of PBS job files, each of which has a "walltime" configuration value that expresses the amount of time needed to run the script and tells the queue to kill it if it runs longer than that. This time is incorrectly formatted for time periods longer than a day.

#PBS -l walltime=1 day, 17:40:00

That should be 41:40:00.

I think best practice with this script is to generate jobs that take less than a day anyway, but it should be able to handle longer ones.
