Puppet users - Sep 2011 - Error 'Could not find relationship target'

I''ve got this in a YAML file:

volumes:
   - {id: 1, hostname: hsync00, iport: 20011, mount: "x", newusers:
false }

and I''m using extlookup to load it:

class platform::test {
    $config = extlookup("volumes", "NA",
"config/volumes")
    platform::do_something { $config: }
}

I''m then passing that array to do_something, so that it will run the
definition once for each item in the array:

define platform::do_something {
    notice ("data = ${name[''id'']}")
}

However, this is giving me the error:

SSep 22 13:41:09 test02 puppet-agent[29875]: Could not retrieve
catalog from remote server: Could not intern from pson: Could not
convert from pson: Could not find relationship target
"Platform::Do_something[mountxid1newusersfalsehostnamehsync00iport20011]"

I''ve played around with the yaml data, shortened it, added quotes,
removed quotes etc and sometimes it seems to work, and other times it
doesn''t. Is there maybe a limit to the length of the $name field that
I am hitting?

Doug.

Hmm - could be that you can''t pass a hash in as the namevar? At least
last time I looked this was true :-) ... you can certainly pass a hash
as a parameter if you like - but namevar should be just a string ...
or array to create multiple resources - but still an array of strings
:-). Not sure why it sometimes works though ...
