Thanks for the ideas. And you are right I should've mentioned the OS it's
running on. It's Linux (Debian Squeeze to be exact).

I don't think it's a license issue since I can run on each node 4
Mathematica Kernels without problem, the problem is making them process in
parallel (meaning parallel remote kernels).

This used to work just fine with mathematica7 (Over 20 kernels without
problem, now I can't get more than 10 in the best case) no idea what could
have changed with mathematica8.

I've tried manually running the kernels with the ssh command that is shown
in the Parallel Kernel Configuration dialog without success (Link names
problems and such). If you could help me with this it would be very much
appreciated since this could lead to solve the problem.

Thanks again for your response.
