...and that's the answer.  The "$" is being interpreted by xymoncmd as part
of a non-existent variable, and so I end up with just "test=s".  I don't
think I can escape the dollar sign in xymoncmd.

It all works as advertised if I simply run the command without xymoncmd
like so:

$ xymon localhost 'xymondboard test=s$ fields=testname'|head
trends
files
msgs
ports
procs
dns
trends
files
msgs
ports

Yay! mystery solved!
