Yay, I got this to work. I think it was something wrong with the 
binaries that I had installed in the remote box. I think the permissions 
on the binaries and/or directories was wrong.

Also it assumed that "/opt/csw/bin/sh" was to be used as a shell but 
there is no shell there, only "/opt/csw/bin/bash".

Anyway, it's working and I can submit jobs and get an email once it's 
done. Very simple once it's all set up :)

Is it possible to adjust how the email is sent? I'd like to control the 
recipient at least.
