Hi,
It isn't finding the file name declared as your hostname.
Two things here I would suggest.
1. Use certname instead of hostname. Hostname can easily be changed but
certname a little harder.
2. Use puppet master --no-daemonize --debug (on the master) and look for the
hiera log output.
In any case, point two will show you how hiera is performing its lookups and
what files it is using.
