Turns out that the problem was fixed by restarting puppetmaster. I
hadn't appreciated that this is necessary when the hiera config changes
- as you don't need to restart puppetmaster to pick up new manifests,
for instance.
Thanks for your help anyway!

Try putting the variable in common.yaml at the bottom of the hierarchy
and see if it gets picked up. If it does then perhaps the value of the
fqdn fact isn't what you think it is.
You can also try running puppetmaster in the foreground in debug mode:
$ puppet master —no-daemonize —debug
Now when you run puppet you should see the Hiera lookups happening as
the catalog is compiled, this might help you pinpoint the problem..

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your tip. I had made a typo in my yaml which debug mode
picked up. I fixed it, and now your command works when run on the
puppetmaster but the same error persists when the variable is
accessed
either from a manifest or from a template during a puppet agent run.
I'm wondering if it might be something to do with the agents not
syncing
the hiera data store, perhaps? I'm new to hiera...
Cheers,
Jonathan
