As I suggested last time, the simplest explanation is that you (or your 
system admins) have not correctly managed to allow the execution host to 
see the files you need it to see. In the absence of fully-qualified 
filenames, GROMACS can only look in the working directory in which it is 
finally run (which need not be the same as the directory from which you 
ran qsub, and may or may not be affected by arguments to qsub). Using a 
fully-qualified -s filename and allowing other filenames to be found in 
the working directory is a recipe for exactly the problem you observe.

Notice how giving the command line you used allows someone to suggest 
what is wrong. Speculating that it is a compile-time problem does not.
