[Users] MPI thorn doesn't output error messages

[Erik Schnetter]

I was looking for a "verbose" option in the script. I found these lines:

# Set up shell
my $verbose = 0;
$verbose = 1 if($ENV{VERBOSE} =~ /^yes$/i);

These lines are strange, because (1) there is no shell (this is a Perl
script), and (2) the variable $verbose isn't used after it is set
here.
