Puppet users - May 2011 - ralsh - unable to pass alias array for host resource

I''m trying create an entry in the /etc/hosts file but when trying to
use the ''alias'' parameter I''m getting a munge error
because it can''t
parse the array passed from the command-line.  I''ve tried all sorts of
ways to define the array but nothing seems to work.  Does anyone know
how to define the array on the command-line?

Here is the command that I run and the output:

#  ralsh host puppet.domain.local ip=10.11.12.13 ensure=present
alias=puppet
Could not run: Parameter alias failed: Munging failed for value
"puppet" in class alias: Cannot add aliases without a catalog

TIA,

John

alias was changed to host_aliases a while back b/c alias is a meta parameter
