Update, cfengine-2.0.7p3 doesn't error out, but it doesn't define the class
either.   Here's the relevant '-d' output:

    LVALUE myconfig
    HandleLVALUE(myconfig) in action Groups:
    EQUALS =
    LEFTBRACK
    RVAL-VAROBJ FileExists($(cfdir)/$(host).conf)
    HandleGroupRvalue(FileExists($(cfdir)/$(host).conf))
    CompareMacro(cfdir,cfdir=/home/eric/cvs/cfengine2/inputs)=cfdir
    HandleGroupRVal(FileExists(/home/eric/cvs/cfengine2/inputs/sinistar.conf)) 
group (myconfig), type=0
    [No match of class]
    RIGHTBRACK

The file does exist; if I hardcode the path/filename, I get:

    LVALUE myconfig
    HandleLVALUE(myconfig) in action Groups:
    EQUALS =
    LEFTBRACK
    RVAL-FUNCTION FileExists(/home/eric/cvs/cfengine2/inputs/sinistar.conf)
    IsBuiltinFunction: FileExists(/home/eric/cvs/cfengine2/inputs/sinistar.conf)
    HandleFunction: FileExists(/home/eric/cvs/cfengine2/inputs/sinistar.conf)
    HandleGroupRVal(any) group (myconfig), type=0
    AddClassToHeap(myconfig)
    Appending [myconfig]
    RIGHTBRACK

But that's not very useful.  So I guess this is rightly a bug?
