There is no need to have "spool" in the pathname twice.

   Qmaster Spool:  /var/spool/oge/qmaster
   Global execd:    /var/spool/oge

should do. These directories need to exist I think. The node specigic one will be created by OGE when the execd starts up.

Is there anything in /tmp from the execd? It's the place where some diagnostic messages will created in case it can't startup.
