Another pre-release is available at

    http://www.osc.edu/~pw/mpiexec/mpiexec-0.81-pre4.tgz

if you would be willing to test it on your PBSPro system.  It should

It also adds your suggestion of looking for the redir-helper in the
same directory as the mpiexec executable, if invoked explicitly
rather than through $PATH search.
