Well, the problem is that the format of your log file 
does not match what SEG expects:

 o  the time stamps in your log file have the format
 
    09/05/2005 23:44:53:754026
    
 o SEG expects

     09/05/2005 23:44:53


What version of PBS are you using? The 754026 
that comes fter the seconds value is creating 
problems for SEG.

After looking at the code, I think that this 
patch should be applied to seg_pbs_module.c


$ diff -u seg_pbs_module.c.~1.5.~   seg_pbs_module.c

This code will work with both types of format 
in the log file, so I propose to Peter Lane 
to incorporate it into CVS.
