Qsub -V, env vars not exported after upgrade

Hi,
we’re using pbs as part of SOCA

we are now upgrading SOCA and it has come with a new version of pbs
pbs_version = 20.0.1 ->.23.06.06, also we’ve moved from CentOS7 to RHEL8

Previous jobs would take the qsub -V flag and bring all variables across to the run but it has stopped working. I can explicitly bring variables into the new job using -v, though that’s impractical to do it for all. Looking at qstat I can see that the Variable_List just contains several PBS_O* vars, and in the working version it shows all env vars.

I see that 23.06.06 is supported on Rocky 8.8 - but SOCA uses RHEL8.10, if this is likely to be the issue is there a way around it? Otherwise any help on trying to debug this would be great.

thanks
