[slurm-dev] squeue returns "invalid user" for a user that has jobs running

[Andrus, Brian Contractor]

All,

Don't quite get this:

# squeue|head
             JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES

Clearly user clwalton is a valid user and has jobs running, but if I try to 
specify him, squeue isn't happy. It is fine with other users...
What would cause this?
