I have tried many different options in attempts to see what is going wrong but have ran out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated at this point.

Van,

It's hard to tell what is happening with your tests.  As I understand it, 
you are working partially on the NCSA Altix?  If so, there might be 
something specific to this site that I can exchange email with you about 
off-list.

Another thing that may be happening is the use of statically-linked 
executables.  Some compilers (for example, Intel when using -fast) arrange 
for static linking which defeats the library preloading that psrun uses 
and result in no XML documents.  Is it possible that this is going on?  
If not, then more information about your environment, compilers, flags, 
etc would be great to have in order to get you going.
