I know this is an old question, but here is the answer for posterity:

The problem is that your /etc/hosts file has a different first hostname than your server_name file. Your server_name file has scyld.localdomain, and your /etc/hosts has your hostname as head0.localdomain. If you run qdel 20432.head0.localdomain, the command will work.

The solution is to change your /etc/hosts file, so that the first entry is:

127.0.0.1     scyld.localdomain

Everything after those characters is unimportant. If you also want the host to be known as head0.localdomain, you can just add that entry after scyld.localdomain on the same line.

I hope this helps someone out.
