Thanks for your suggestion,
but infact it does not change anything here renaming the modules itself - I
just renamed the module to more usual name without the colon
but as before it works but still throws the syntax error.
I finally just got rid of the syntax error by writing the variable $(host) like
${host} - using curly braces it works without throwing errors
Using curly braces for the variable I can write it using a colon, with or
without quotes - It always works without errors.
@ Mark: Maybe you ought to update the example in your documentation accordingly?

(I am currently using 2.2.10 from DAG repositories for RHEL 5)
Cheers to everyone and a Happy weekend ...

Betreff: Re: cf2: Mysterious Syntax error
That's not how I've ever used PrepModule (with quotes) -- here's what my
syntax looks like:
loaded_cfengine_version = ( PrepModule(cfengine_version, "") )
I also don't name my modules with colons in the filename...
