That shouldn't happen, it works fine here (and where I've used Slurm in 
Australia).

$ sacct -j ${FAILED_JOBID} -o start,end,elapsed,state
              Start                 End    Elapsed      State

2019-02-27T22:35:23 2019-02-27T22:36:38   00:01:15  COMPLETED

The "COMPLETED" part is the extern step we have as we use pam_slurm_adopt.

All the best,
Chris
