MPIEXEC IS USING SSH AND IS GENERATING SSH MESSAGES

OSC's mpiexec doesn't use ssh at all.

The new MPICH-2 distributions also have a tool called mpiexec that
does almost exactly the same thing as their old mpirun script.  Are you
sure you're not getting that instead?  Do a "which mpiexec" and make sure
you're getting the one you compiled and not something that came with
MPICH.
