I agree, when I had that problem it was only to do with the 
mom_priv/config file being wrong.

If this is a new install I would, remove the /var/spool/torque directory 
(or move it out of the way) on all nodes and run through the

./configure
make
sudo make packages

Then on the head node install the clients, doc and server packages
and optionally the mom (if head node will also compute) and gui package.

On the compute nodes just install the pbs_mom package and optionally the 
clients package and start with

$pbsserver server_name
$usecp *:/ /

in the mom_priv/config file.  If it doesn't work after that, something 
else is wrong and further troubleshooting would be needed.  This would 
get you to somewhat of a "known good" configuration for everyone to work 
from, since now everyone knows exactly how it is configured.
