put this in a script called cftestHostRange...

 #!/usr/sbin/cfagent -d2 --no-splay --inform --no-lock --file
 control: 
   actionsequence = ( shellcommands )
 groups: hello_node = ( HostRange(hello,1-10) )
 shellcommands: hello_node:: "/bin/echo hello_node IS defined"
 shellcommands: !hello_node:: "/bin/echo hello_node is NOT defined"

and then do...

 ./cftestHostRange | grep SRDEBUG

if it fails, then send me the output. 

if it succeeds, run cfagent with "-d2" and grep on SRDEBUG...
something like...

 cfagent -Iq -d2 | grep SRDEBUG

and compare the results.  maybe that'll point you in the right
direction.
