That's awfully surprising if those data appear in an Hiera data file from
which you are successfully loading other data. If that is in fact
happening then the most likely reason would be that a resource-like class
declaration for that class somewhere in your manifest set is explicitly
declaring different parameter values for that class (in which case the
Hiera data will not be consulted). But if that were the case, then I would
expect Puppet to raise an error when you added your own resource-like
declaration of the same class. Another possibility is that there are
conflicting data in some higher-priority level of your data hierarchy, but
that would be surprising considering how you arrived where you now are.
My best guess, therefore, is that the file in which you placed the
parameter data is not being consulted at all for the node in question (so
that in fact you are *not* successfully loading other data from it, either).

That is correct. There are good reasons for it, but a discussion of those
would be tangential. If you're interested, you can find at least one such
discussion in the archives of this group.
