You don't include the hash in client-local.cfg - you just tell the 
client what kind of hash it should calculate. So this should be

[dev]
file:/etc/passwd:md5
file:/etc/shadow:md5

Your pattern match will find a host name "dev", but it will in fact 
match any host that has "de" in the hostname. '*' is not a wilcard, it 
is a counter meaning "0 or more of the preceding character" - 'v' in 
this case - and you haven't anchored the 'de'.

You probably want
HOST=%^dev
