Jobs I add to the queue stays there in "Queued" state without attempts to be executed (unless I manually qrun them)

/var/spool/torque/server_logs say just

04/11/2011 12:43:27;0100;PBS_Server;Job;16.localhost;enqueuing into batch, state 1 hop 1
04/11/2011 12:43:27;0008;PBS_Server;Job;16.localhost;Job Queued at request of test@localhost, owner = test@localhost, job name = Qqq, queue = batch

The job requires just 1 CPU on 1 node.

# qmgr -c "list queue batch"
Queue batch
    queue_type = Execution
    total_jobs = 0
    state_count = Transit:0 Queued:0 Held:0 Waiting:0 Running:0 Exiting:0 
    max_running = 3
    acl_host_enable = True
    acl_hosts = localhost
    resources_min.ncpus = 1
    resources_min.nodect = 1
    resources_default.ncpus = 1
    resources_default.nodes = 1
    resources_default.walltime = 00:00:10
    mtime = Mon Apr 11 12:07:10 2011
    resources_assigned.ncpus = 0
    resources_assigned.nodect = 0
    kill_delay = 3
    enabled = True
    started = True

I can't set resources_assigned to nonzero because of Cannot set attribute, read only or insufficient permission resources_assigned.ncpus.

When I qrun some task, this goes to mom's log:

How to make it execute jobs automatically, without manual qrun?
