Greetings, please note you forgot to provide a (sanitized) log of an actual fabric run containing the verbatim error message and possible traceback, so it is very hard for us to debug your problem.
However, from the way you add "userXXX@" to env.host_string in your os.system call, I assume your host_string is just missing the user portion[0][1][2]. Unless it is identical to your local username, this will be a problem since local_username is the default value for the remote username[3][4]. [0]: The docs (http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.4.3/usage/env.html#host-string) could be a bit clearer on that, and are lacking examples. I haven't verified it recently, but the way I understand and use it in my code, basically, [code]env.host_string = env.user + '@' + env.host[/code].
