Thanks for the suggestion Barry, I did do that by setting it in multiple
ways first by setting

Formfunction(snes,Vec x,Vec F,void* ctx)
{
ierr = SNESGetJacobian(snes,&jac,NULL,NULL,NULL);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = MatZeroEntries(jac);CHKERRQ(ierr);

.....


ierr = MatGetOwnershipRange(jac,&istart,&iend);

for(i=istart;i<iend;i++)
{
val = 0.0;
ierr = MatSetValue(jac, i, i, val, ADD_VALUES);CHKERRQ(ierr);
}
ierr = MatAssemblyBegin(jac,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = MatAssemblyEnd(jac,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);CHKERRQ(ierr);
}
I get the same error as before for a single processor run.
"[0]PETSC ERROR: --------------------- Error Message
--------------------------------------------------------------
[0]PETSC ERROR: Object is in wrong state
[0]PETSC ERROR: Matrix is missing diagonal entry 0"


Thanks
