BackupPC 2.1.1

I have:

$Conf{PingPath} = '/bin/echo';

I set up a host using a short (non-FQDN) name, but with an entry in
~backuppc/.ssh/config to point to the correct host, along the lines of:

host shortname
        hostname fully.qualified.domain.name

As user backuppc, 'ssh shortname' works. In the /etc/backuppc/hosts file,
I refer to the host as 'shortname'. If I force a full backup, I get 'no
ping (host not found)'. Given that '/bin/echo -c 1 shortname' has an exit
status of 0, why am I getting this error?

Also, I couldn't see a log file that would help me resolve this problem
myself - did I miss something?

Thanks,
Keith
