If you're using the native verbs API, you don't need that TCP clause.
Also, if you're running in a PBS job, you don't need the -hostfile clause. And
if you're running one process per core in the allocated PBS job, you can skip
the -np clause, too. You should be able to run with:
mpirun ./paraEllip3d input.txt
If you want one process per server, then
mpirun -np <num_servers> --map-by node ./paraEliip3d input.txt

It looks like you have two general cases:
1. The job fails for no apparent reason (like above), or
2. The job complains that your TMPDIR is on a shared filesystem
Right?
I think the real issue, then, is to figure out why your jobs are failing with
no output.
Is there anything in the stderr output?
