Where did you get this plugin? It doesn't appear to live at any of the  
common plugin repositories.

This seems reasonable, provided servername is a FQDN and is the same  
as what you tested above.

Does it really print '("...")' or is that creative editing? If there's  
more output, please post it. Have you looked at the script to see  
under what conditions that's shown?

My guess would be an environment issue. The script may call external  
programs but not specify the full paths to them, may depend on  
environment variables that are not present, etc.
