Sbatch: I/O error writing script/environment to file

1

Hello,

There seems to be a problem with submitting batch jobs. When using sbatch with even a simple file like

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=trial
#SBATCH --partition=private-dpt-cpu
#SBATCH --time=00-00:01:00
#SBATCH -N 1 # total number of nodes
#SBATCH --mem=10G

echo Hello

I get an error saying
sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: I/O error writing script/environment to file. Somehow running srun echo hello seems fine and works.

Can you please have a look?
