You let's assume you can write in the /tmp directory on all the nodes
(usually you can) you can use a subdirectory of /tmp as outdir, let's say
/tmp/xy-job

Just set outdir='/tmp/xy-job' in the control namelist. The directory has
to exist on every node.

It is boring to create them by hand you can use ssh with (password-less)
pubkey and some bash cycle, or you can use expect.. you could also try to
use mpirun in some creative way, like
  mpirun -np 8 mkdir -p /tmp/xy-job
but I wouldn't bet on this to work.

I hope this helps
