First off that's great!  I'm always keen to see padb better and
available to a wider range of people.

Secondly as you'll see if you look at the history I've done a lot of
work since the 2.5 release so several aspects of the design are
different.  For the most part this should make things simpler to code
for however it does mean changes to the code you have written.

I'm happy to integrate patches which add new resource managers as the
danger of breaking anything else is low, I'd like to see if we can get
away without they lpbs_get_script_name() function though.

Are you able to upgrade to the HEAD code and submit patches based on
that? have a look at @inner_conf and in particular slurm_job_step for
how to pass on $server and $port to the inner processes.
