That error has nothing to do with Torque. The cmd line is simply wrong - you are specifying a btl that doesn't exist.
It should work just fine with mpirun -n X hellocluster Nothing else is required. When you run mpirun --hostfile nodefile hellocluster OMPI will still use Torque to do the launch - it just gets the list of nodes from your nodefile instead of the PBS_NODEFILE. You may have stated it below, but I can't find it: what version of OMPI are you using? Are there additional versions installed on your system?
