Hi all,I'm in the process of porting CESM1.0.5 to our local linux cluster, scihub, at the British Antarctic Survey. I can build the model, and it seems to run ok as far as I can tell, but I'm running into problems when I'm trying to set up test cases to check that the port has been successful. Following the recommendations in the user guide, I'm first trying to build test ERS_D.f19_g16.X using "./create_test -testname ERS_D.f19_g16.X.scihub -testid t01", but I get the following error: "Variable name must contain alphanumeric characters. ERROR: testcase_setup failed". I do get a directory "ERS_D.f19_g16.X.scihub.t01" which contains a *.build and *.run script, but there is no *.test script. I haven't been able to figure out where the error is coming from. Can anyone help? Below is some more of the output I get, after I do  "./create_test -testname ERS_D.f19_g16.X.scihub  -testid t01" in case it helps.Thanks!Ingrid------Setting up the following test:

I finally figured out what the problem was. The batch system on scihub, our local cluster, is SGE. Therefore in mkbatch.scihub I had commands of the form:cat >! $CASEROOT/${CASE}.${mach}.run
