Sorry, this mail slipped by me.
The most common reason that I have seen this happen is if you are not
using the TM support in Open MPI to launch the MPI processes on your
allocated nodes.
I do not have a TM system to test with, but I *believe* that TM will
replicate your entire environment (including $PBS_JOBID) out on the
back-end nodes before starting the job.
Are you seeing cases where this is not happening?
More below.

I don't think you should be de-referncing jobid here.

main() is supposed to return an int. ;-)

Hmm. This output doesn't seem to match the code above...?
