	Really; "down" doesn't clear it?

	Can you include the output of:

rush -lj <thejobid>
rush -lf <thejobid>
rush -lc <thejobid>
rush -dump -fu <thejobid>
rush -down <jobidhostname> <stuckframehostname>

	..where <jobidhostname> is the hostname part of the jobid in question,
	and <stuckframehostname> is the hostname of the machine with the stuck
	frame.

	Assuming the above doesn't work, and you can provide the above info
	here, what should work for sure is to:

		1) stop the daemon on the jobid server

		2) Edit the rush/var/jobs-checkpoint file, find the jobid
		   in question, and remove all the lines pertaining to that job
		
		3) restart the dameon

	..this will definitely get rid of the job.

	In step #2, you can also just completely remove the jobs-checkpoint
	file, which will cause all the jobs that machine was managing to
	be cleared.
