The log file indicates the job never even really started.  Either mdrun_mpi is 
defective, your MPI implementation in general does not work, or there was some 
other error at the system level that halted the job.  There are no errors from 
Gromacs here, so the source of the problem is external to Gromacs.  Try getting 
simple example MPI programs to work and discuss with your sysadmins.
