Couple things to check:
* hiera command line uses /etc/hiera.yaml for its config, but the
hiera-puppet plugin uses /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml
* I don't really know much about yaml, but I have found that I
often have to write lists as
:foo:
- bar
- baz
Notice the newline before the first item.
Hope that helps, or maybe someone else will have something better,
Chad
