ERROR:  The output file name you specified

relative to the submit-time current working directory of
    /u/sf/pinger/
in the bsub -o option is incorrect or not useable for output.
This job was running on dole0014 and attempted to write the data to
that location but failed.

To prevent losing the output, an attempt has been made to temporarily
store it in
    /nfs/farm/knackery/pinger.job.813316.output.

Failure to write to the specified output file location would typically
be caused by the following kinds of things:
 o The output file location is out of space or over the user's quota;
 o The user does not have write privileges to the file;
 o The directory specified for the file does not exist;
 o The output file specification did not specify a full path and the
   current working directory at the time of job submission was not
   what was intended.
 o Some system failure occured such that the output file could not
   be opened or mounted.

The file shown above should be readable from any interactive server.
Please erase it after you have looked at it.
The file will be erased automatically in 72 hours.
