Are you using IntelMPI?  I've seen this type of warning in some
situations with IntelMPI.  In all our cases, "srun hostname" or "mpirun
hostname" shows that it *does* honor --ntasks-per-node.  (So we
generally just ask our users to check with "srun hostname", and ignore
the warning if it works as expected.)
