[galaxy-dev] Job output not returned from cluster

yes, i think galaxy already grabs these files.  i seem to recall this
process would get stuck if the output was too large (i was running
something with a --debug/verbose option and galaxy would not finish the job
even though it was off the cluster -- had to redirect to a log file).

so i guess others aren't having the same problems as i had, which is good
news
