I suggest, at least for testing, you stop trying to muck round with
the paths and create a new directory foo from which to run your jobs.

In that dir copy your executable and your input file. 

Submit from this directory and see if it works - if so great, if not
time to start looking at the underlying problem.

Note that if you are submitting several jobs from the same directory
then you should ensure all the output files (including std in and std
err have different names or they will overwrite each other)
