Subject: var-context not relevant in commands, but relevant in reports?

Hello all,
I'm probably missing something really obvious, but I can't figure out this
one...
I want to check if a particular service is enabled on a CentOS 5.5 box, and to
use chkconfig to enable it if it isn't...
Can anyone enlighten me what happens to the varclass ${s)_enabled here to cause
this behaviour?
Here is the relevant part of my cfengine config:
bundle agent chkconfig_status(s){
# Report whether service is enabled using chkconfig
classes:
"${s}_enabled" expression =>
returnszero("/sbin/chkconfig ${s}","noshell");
commands:
"/sbin/chkconfig --add ${s}" ,
ifvarclass => "${s}_enabled";
reports:
redhat::
"Service ${s} is enabled",
ifvarclass => "${s}_enabled";
"Service ${s} is not enabled",
ifvarclass => "!${s}_enabled";
}
If I run cf-agent, I get the following output:
The reports part:
cf3> Promise handle:
cf3> Promise made by: Service postfix is not enabled
cf3> .........................................................
cf3>
cf3> Report: Service postfix is not enabled
cf3> R: Service postfix is not enabled
The commands part:
cf3> Skipping whole next promise (/sbin/chkconfig --add postfix), as
var-context postfix_enabled is not relevant
