Port to a new XC50

Hello,

I'm trying to port to a new XC50. I build a machine_config.xml, based on aleph, which is very similar. Where I'm currently struggling is in the correct definition of `config_batch.xml`. The system also uses pbs, however there are some details about the queues. I tried to define a version in `$HOME/.cime/config_batch.xml`, using the pbs definitions from the default `.cime/config/cesm/machines/config_batch.xml`, however when I test the syntax on this (exact same file) it does not validate.

If I have no `config_batch.xml` file, when using `create_newcase`, I get an error, even if I explicitly specify the queue and wallclock time to use:

```
./create_newcase --case ~/runpath3/my_cesm_sandbox/test/b.e20.B1850.f19_g17.test --compset B1850 --res f19_g17 -q development --walltime 03:00:00
WARNING: No queue on this system met the requirements for this job. Falling back to defaults
ERROR: No queues found
```

Any guidance on correctly defining the `config_batch`, selecting specific queues, or other necessary machine configuration? thanks

Sorry, I should correct that. The default `config_batch` does validate, but I still have the issue regarding selecting a queue.
