When you do qstat, are your jobs in a queued state?

You should be able to specify the queue. The only problem is that you
are specifying a queue that doesn't exist on Abe.

This is what I've found online:
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/UserInfo/Resources/Hardware/Intel64Cluster/Doc/Jobs.html#Queues

You can also log in, and do a qstat -q, which will show the following:

Bigred, it would seem, has an expired host certificate. This is a
problem with the site. I would suggest seding an email to
help at teragrid.org with the above message (from "Server refused
performing the request" to "530 End.]").
