All files should be readable as they are either 755 or 644. Even if they
don't exist, hiera should still attempt to "Search" that path and show me
what directories it is searching when doing so with debug on. Since it is
not showing the directories with variables, it, for some reason, is
skipping them alltogether.
another example:
---
:backends:
- yaml
:yaml:
:datadir: "/opt/local/modules/hieradata"
:hierarchy:
- common1/%{calling_class}
- common2/%{calling_class}
- common3
- puppet_test
hiera -d 'dhcpd::package_name' environment=production

nil
common1 and common2 are completely ignored.
