Hi,

try

mpirun.lsf /nfs/s04r2p1/wangxq_tj/espresso-3.2.3/bin/pw.x \
           -in /nfs/s04r2p1/wangxq_tj/cu.scf.in  > cu.scf.out

see the espresso user-guide pages 29 and 30. In most of the espresso
examples it is assumed that stdin is connected on all nodes,
which (as far as I know) is not guaranteed by the MPI standard.
However, the "-in inputfile" option should always work.

Cheers,
Martin
