Solution:
delete the file and instead of a file transfer through ssh, try doing a copy/paste.

OpenMPI issues

For decoding the cryptic MPI error messages:

The error message that I am getting if I don't use the "-nolocal" option in the script:

rm_12833: p4_error: semget failed for setnum: 0
p0_14592: (4.875000) net_recv failed for fd = 8
p0_14592: p4_error: net_recv read, errno = : 104
Killed by signal 2.^M
Killed by signal 2.^M
Killed by signal 2.^M
Killed by signal 2.^M
p0_14592: (36.906250) net_send: could not write to fd=4, errno = 32

I tried running the following command:
/opt/mpich/gnu/sbin/cleanipcs
cluster-fork /opt/mpich/gnu/sbin/cleanipcs

Got "Permission Denied" error. Just for hit-and-trial sake, I added the "-nolocal" flag and the above mentioned error message gets suppressed. However, I don't see the desired output. The script looks like following with the "-nolocal" option:

#!/bin/bash
#
#$ -cwd
#$ -j y
#$ -S /bin/bash
#$ -pe mpi 10
MPI_DIR=/opt/mpich/gnu/bin
EXECUTABLE="/home/ritu/pgaNov/pgaNov"
$MPI_DIR/mpirun -nolocal -np $NSLOTS -machinefile $TMPDIR/machines $EXECUTABLE

To find out the disk usage on Linux

For finding out the total disk usage:

du -sh

For finding out more about the disk usage try out the following command which is helpful in figuring out which directory has the largest file size and then dig deeper in the directory:

du -h --max-depth=1

Other useful command:

cd;du -k sort -nr more

How to remove ^M, the DOS line break character.

To remove the extra ^M character that shows up in files that are transferred to the Unix system from the Windows platform (having ASCII format for the files) :

1) Press Esc and type ":"
2) %s/(ctrl-v)(ctrl-m)//g

The basic search and replace command in unix is %s. The pattern between the first and the second slash (which is ^M) is replaced by the pattern between the second and third slash (which is empty space here). The "g" at the end of the command implies that the global replacement is being done in the file.
