Found the problem. There was a missing closing round bracket ')' on the hosts.cfg line for portal02.

yowser. That's a pretty brutal failure mode for a syntax error in hosts.cfg If you feed that file to xymongrep or xymoncfg, do either of them complain of the syntax error?

(I'm just wondering if I should ad a post-edit syntax reality check to my workflow.)
