Can you use the interactive mode of PBS to get 5 cores on 1 node?  IIRC, "qsub 
-I ..." ?

Then you get a shell prompt with your allocated cores and can run stuff 
interactively.  I don't know if your site allows this, but interactive 
debugging here might be *significantly* easier than try to automate some 
debugging.
