Hi Michael,

For tools that output BAM, samtools needs to be in your $PATH, or has to be set 
up via the tool dependencies system.  See the following for details:

    http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Tool%20Dependencies

For SGE, you can modify the $PATH used on the cluster in ~/.sge_request or the 
file specified in the 'environment_setup_file' galaxy config option.
