I believe so:

Code:
ls -l /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 768952 Sep 26  2014 /bin/bash

/bin/bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.25(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

Unable to run job: Script length does not match declared length.
Exiting.

Hi.

Just a guess, change from:
Code:
fastqc -f fastq -o /data4/user/test/fastqc/ $i

to (by adding quotes):
Code:
fastqc -f fastq -o /data4/user/test/fastqc/ "$i"

Good luck ... cheers, drl
