Is there a reason to subtract one in the above statement?
AFAICS: -q on the command line will replace the complete list of queues set in
an sge_request file. OTOH -q used in DRMAA will add this queue to the list of
already set queues. So the one specified in sge_request is still there.
Can you check with `qstat -j <job_id>` whether you experience the same?
