After some trial and error, I found it was a configuration issue. The parttool 
module requires the following format:
        parttool (hd0,1) hidden-
        parttool (hd0,1) boot+
        parttool (hd0,2) hidden+
        parttool (hd0,2) boot-
        parttool (hd0,3) hidden+

So, it needs parentheses around the partition and can only accept one partition 
argument at the time.
Would be nice to have the usage format documented for each module. Lesson 
learned: don't trust arbitrary documentation hints on the web!
