NSCA strange behaviour

[Cedric Jeanneret]

I just rsync-ed a complet config from a working host, then:
for file in $(grep -lr working-client *); do
  sed -i 's/working-client/client22/g' $i
done

... and it doesn't work any better. More over, puppet doesn't want to change anything...

I'm stuck... :(
