I would be very surprised if this is true. The "nornal" sequences of
events during submission process is the following:

1) The system looks into your submission script and finds out the
resource requirements.

2) If the requirements are met, the job gets "R" status and the
remaining commands (which do not start with #PBS) are executed.

3) If there is a problem with the message parallel interface or the
[scientific] code, the job dies with some MPI-specific error message,
or with code-specific message, or usually both of them.

What I see in your report, your "error" message comes from PBS, i.e.
neither MPI nor gromacs are launched.
