that's a good starting point :-)) The problem is that what you think you 
did may not correspond to what you actually did...

does it print "Parallel version (MPI)" in the first lines of
output? have you already run parallel codes on this machine?
even a very simple code that just calls mpi_init, prints 
something, calls mpi_finalize, will do the job: use it as 
an example (main program is PW/pwscf.f90, mpi_init is
called in 'startup'). There are as many different mpi installations 
as Beowulf machine, and each one behaves differently from all 
others, apparently...
