The syntax of the generated if statement is not valid in csh.
Code:
qstat -u jmarell | if [ `grep -c 348240` -eq 0 ]; echo 348240

A solution is to generate a statement like that :
Code:
qstat -u jmarell | grep -q 348240 || echo 348240

Another approch to solve your problem :
Code:
qstat -u jmarell |
awk '
    FILENAME=="-" { JobId[$1] = $2; next }
    ! ($2 in JobId) { print "Job id", $2, "not found" }
' - ~/curJobs.log

SGE_QSTAT(5)						   Sun Grid Engine File Formats 					      SGE_QSTAT(5)

NAME

       sge_qstat - Sun Grid Engine default qstat file format

DESCRIPTION

       sge_qstat  defines  the	command line switches that will be used by qstat by default.  If available, the default sge_qstat file is read and
       processed by qstat(1).

       There is a cluster global and a user private sge_qstat file. The user private file has the highest precedence and is  followed by the clus-
       ter  global  sge_qstat file. Command line switches used with qstat(1) override all switches contained in the user private or cluster global
       sge_qstat file.

       The format of the default files is:

       o  The default sge_qstat file may contain an arbitrary number of lines.	Blank lines and lines with a '#' sign  at  the	first  column  are
	  skipped.   Each  line  not to be skipped may contain any qstat(1) option as described in the Sun Grid Engine Reference Manual. More than
	  one option per line is allowed.

EXAMPLES

       The following is a simple example of a default sge_qstat file:

       =====================================================
       # Just show me my own running and suspended jobs
       -s rs -u $user
       =====================================================

       Having defined a default sge_qstat file like this and using qstat as follows:

       qstat

       has the same effect as if qstat was executed with:

       qstat -s rs -u <current_user>

FILES

       <sge_root>/<cell>/common/sge_qstat global defaults file
       $HOME/.sge_qstatuser private defaults file
