Michael,
What OS, shell, and architecture are you using??
It works for me with a version of SGE that is very close to SGE 6.2u5:
[rayson@computer ~]$ qsub -b y -sync y echo %s
Your job 25374 ("echo") has been submitted
Job 25374 exited with exit code 0.
And it works on EC2 with Grid Engine 2011.11 as well:
root@master:~# qsub -b y -sync y echo %s
Your job 1 ("echo") has been submitted
Job 1 exited with exit code 0.
