The problem turned out to be some confusion about the regular expressions,
in combination with a rule that would unexpectedly take precedence over the
wanted one. When using regex'es, you must be careful about the order in
which you list the various rules. In this case there was 

  HOST=%ss
     LOAD ...

followed by

  HOST=%ssnts|sspro
     LOAD ...

and since Xymon uses the first rule that matches, the "%ssnts|sspro"
expression would never be used.
