Apparently linux artificially caps the maximum number of links to a file at 32000 for ext[23] and possibly other file systems. This in turn limits the number of subdirectories in a directory to 2 lower https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2005-July/msg03301.html The obvious question is 'Why do you have 31998 subdirectories in active_jobs?'. There shouldn't be more than one per job task and hitting 31998 tasks on a node is not what one normally expects. I would look in active_jobs with ls -al to see what directories are present. One thing that might cause this is if the spool directory were exported over NFS in which case the nfs server may translate attempts to delete files/directories that it thinks are open remotely into a rename into a hidden file. Once you get the number of hard links/subdirectories down to a more sane number then grid engine should be able to create directories for new jobs/tasks normally and clearing the error state on the queue should stick.
