That was it! Apparently when I moved to the new server a year or so
ago I did some combination of copying the old install and reinstalling.

The submit/interactive/start.sh etc were links to sharp/bin on a local
disk of the old server, NFS-mounted here. Still everything worked
perfectly until a week ago when that disk ceased to be mounted.
Next time I'll do a clean install. For now I just changed the links
to point to the scripts in local sharp/bin, and it works again.

Thanks,
Ed
