Hi Johan, Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it did not work.
It seems that using a scope file (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/command_line.html#json-and-yaml-scopes) doesn't load the facts into the global scope. Could this be a hiera command line bug? If I change the hiera.yaml hierarchy from "node/%{::fqdn}" to "node/%{fqdn}" it works. Reading http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/variables.html#aside-why-do-everyones-manifests-seem-to-use-ipaddress seems to suggest that you don't need to use :: for facts. Am I missing something?
