Have you tried increasing the debugging to see what's actually being
passed?  Looking at your definition, you have '$HOSTALIAS$' (note the
single quote), yet that doesn't exist on the working example.  Was
this a typo? 

Also, you need'll need to provide the command definition so we can see
how the args are being passed.
