Problem with parallel pool

Hi,
I am trying to run from Linux a simple parallel Matlab code :
parpool(4)
tic
parfor i=1:10
pause(10)
end
time=toc;
time
delete(gcp('nocreate'))
and I'm doing that with the sh file:
#!/bin/bash
#PBS -S /bin/bash
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=2,walltime=24:00:00
#PBS -N parallel_trial.m
#PBS -o out-hostname-XyZ-N1x1-qsub.txt
#PBS -j oe
#PBS -e out-hostname-XyZ-N1x1.txt
cd ${PBS_O_WORKDIR}
/opt/bin/matlab -nosplash -nodisplay < parallel_trial.m > parallel_output.txt 2>&1
The problem is that I get the message 'Starting parallel pool (parpool) using the 'local' profile ...' for minutes, and nothing happens.
If I try to use the command -nojvm, I get the error: Undefined variable "com" or class
"com.mathworks.toolbox.distcomp.pmode.SessionInfo.NULL_SESSION_INFO".
Can someone help to fix this problem?

Don't use -nojvm, Java is required for Parallel Computing Toolbox functionality.
It looks like you're trying to start 4 workers, having already launched a "client" under PBS (or Torque?). Perhaps the scheduler is limiting the resources you're allowed to use - does it work to use parpool(1) instead?

It works both with 4 and 1 workers, without -nojvm, but it takes almost one hour to start the parallel profile

In your PBS/Torque resource selection, you are asking for 2 processors (ppn="processors per node") on 1 node:
nodes=1:ppn=2
In your code you are trying to start a MATLAB and then four addtitional MATLAB processes with the parpool. So depending on how strict your scheduler is enforcing job limits, you are trying to use five cores when you have asked for two. Are you able to ask for five cores?
I'll also note that there are ways to submit a job to a PBS/Torque cluster if it's been set up to integrate with Parallel Server.
