Hi Reuti,

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I've now added nodes for the projects, and these nodes do indeed show combined 
usage values.  If I add users under the project nodes, varying the number of 
shares allocated to each user has an appropriate effect on the order of queued 
jobs.  The users under the default node still show no usage.  Is this the 
expected behaviour?

Perhaps I'm going about things the wrong way.  We require users to submit jobs 
with projects to simplify our accounting, but would like each user to get a 
roughly equal share of resources in the long term, regardless of which project 
they use (i.e. I'd like the share tree to ignore the projects and just work 
with users).  I sometimes use override tickets to provide a user with a boost 
when necessary, but otherwise leave the share tree to sort things out.  I'm 
sure I've managed this previously with a share tree containing just the default 
node and a list of users underneath, but maybe I'm mistaken.

I've modified our configuration following your suggestion.
