When I run it with OpenMPI (openmpi-1.0.2a4), I get:
odev2@mhaskell: srun -N4 -n4 --nodelist=odev[0-3,6] `pwd`/hello
0 of 1: Hello world!
0 of 1: Hello world!
0 of 1: Hello world!

This is actually not a mode that we support in SLURM [yet] -- we
currently require the use of mpirun. For example:
srun -N4 -n4 -A ...
mpirun -np 4 hello
The "-A" option to srun will give you an interactive shell where you
can run mpirun as many times as you'd like. The mpirun will
automatically get the hostnames from SLURM -- no need to provide a
hostfile or anything like that.
Similarly, you can write a script and submit it to slurm with the -b
switch (where only one copy of the script runs, not N copies). You'd
put the mpirun command in there, and just like with the interactive
mode, it'll get the hosts from SLURM, etc.
(FWIW, we use SLURM on our clusters too -- these two modes have
worked quite well for us; let us know if you have problems with them)
Hope that helps!
