Using globus-job-run I see that only 1 account is valid.

globus-job-run works to jobmanager-pbs, both with and without a -p 
option specifying the valid account.

Swift using the gt2 provider also works with and without the valid 
account specified in sites.xml as a globus profile.

Swift and the coaster provider with gt2:gt2:pbs fails both without the 
valid account (it gets the same "This node is in dedicated user mode" 
message)

In terms of sites.xml:

This fails (using coaster provider):

<config>
<pool handle="abe" >
   <execution provider="coaster" url="grid-abe.ncsa.teragrid.org" 
jobManager="gt2:gt2:pbs" />
   <gridftp url="gsiftp://gridftp-abe.ncsa.teragrid.org"/>
   <workdirectory>/u/ac/wilde/swiftwork</workdirectory>
</pool>
</config>

This works (using gt2 provider):

<config>
<pool handle="abe">
   <jobmanager universe="vanilla" 
url="grid-abe.ncsa.teragrid.org/jobmanager-pbs" major="2"/>
   <gridftp url="gsiftp://gridftp-abe.ncsa.teragrid.org"/>
   <workdirectory>/u/ac/wilde/swiftwork</workdirectory>
</pool>
</config>

I will try the same to a different TG site (starting with UC).
