Can you try watching "bpsh 10 cat /proc/stat" and see if the first
number (user counts) seems to change faster than the four number (idle
counts) while your running a busy job.  This will prove that the
CPU is busy.

How does it compare with the output of "beostat -N 10 -s" ?

Well, if you checked the loadavg, then I guess it's busy.

Hmm...every time you restart the "recvstats" daemon all status
information should be reset to zero. 

(i.e. "/etc/rc.d/init.d/beowulf restart")
