[Xymon] .default. not working?

[Jon Dustin]

Can anyone think of a way I can debug the processing of hosts.cfg? For some reason my ".default." entry is not being read correctly, and no matter what I try Xymon complains. 

Thanks for reading.

Nope, still not working:

0.0.0.0         .default.               # testip NOPROPRED:+if_load NOPROPYELLOW:+if_load

(note - there are TABS on both sides of .default. - in case that makes a difference)

Thanks for reading.
