Thanks, that's a good suggestion, and I'll do it instead of the first 
shellcommand.

In the process of trying that out, I discovered that I had a bug in a variable 
definition (for host_keys_master_dir), which seems to have caused the 256 
return.  I guess the bug caused 'test' to return 1, not 0, and it is shifted 
left 8 bits when cfengine reports the return code...
