about NFS and WN: it is possible to to make them work together, not only the /home folder, but wathever fs you want...for better performance just modify the file /var/spool/pbs/mom_priv/config (on the WN) adding
$usecp MASTER_IP:/home /home
[please note the "$" at the beginning]
and restart the pbs_mom.
This string allows the mom to copy directly (and not via ssh or scp) files from a local (WN) point to a filesystem shared via NFS (i.e. /home). In effect this configuration is a little faster, avoiding the authentication between master and nodes

AFAIK, the "lcgpbs" jobmanager should work fine with NFS.
It does not _need_ NFS (it was invented to allow WNs to use their own FS).
