cobbler-ext-nodes returning nil results for system with mgmt classes and parameters

Greetings,

Long time listener (false) first time caller (true.)  I am experimenting
with Puppet 3.0.1 and Cobbler 2.2.3.  I created a test profile, a test sub
profile, and a test system in cobbler (via the GUI.)  When calling
cobbler-ext-nodes hostname, I am getting nil values for both classes and
parameters.  Some facts have been obfuscated, any values that do not appear
valid are likely obfuscated.  All files are appears to be parsed by cobbler
properly as there are no errors with 'cobbler sync.'

The external nodes script in 2.2.3 uses the --dns-name field in the
interface only, not the hostname field. 2.4.0 will also check the hostname
field (added that fix a little while back).

That was it, thanks James!
