Dear Johannes, I have the same problem since several days. Good to know that more people seem to experience this. I will now move my jobs to different directories.

I'm submitting my jobs on login18-2.hpc.itc.rwth-aachen.de Sometimes its not possible to ls a directory which has files linked to hpcwork, the system just hangs. I also had jobs not starting or failing between different steps due to files that could not be found. Is this an issue with hpcwork, should I move my files to work or my home directory?
