I've had success using the pbs runner rather than drmaa runner for this case.  It's quite straightforward to specify the pbs_server for the pbs runner.  Works just as the documentation indicates.

I haven't been able to find a way to make the drmaa runner work in this situation.  I'm going to move on to trying this with a pbs runner instead. I will post to this thread if this works for me.
