different console names

I am having trouble using different names for the same console on
different console servers.

Both machines are conserver.com version 7.0.1

host halibut:
/etc/conserver.cf
<snip>
portserver:/dev/ttyb@rfcudev1:9600p:&:
rfcuapp1:!rfcuapp1@rfcudev1:9600p:&:
rfcudev1:!rfcudev1@rfcuapp1:9600p:&:
<snip>

host rfcudev1:
/etc/conserver.cf
<snip>
portserver:/dev/ttyb:9600p:&:
rfcudev1:!rfcudev1@rfcuapp1:9600p:&:
rfcuapp1:!portserver:2003:&:
<snip>

works just fine.

But when I change halibut /etc/conserver.cf to
<snip>
rfc-portserver:/dev/ttyb@rfcudev1:9600p:&:
rfcuapp1:!rfcuapp1@rfcudev1:9600p:&:
rfcudev1:!rfcudev1@rfcuapp1:9600p:&:
<snip>

I get:

halibut# console rfc-portserver       
console: rfcudev1: server rfc-portserver not found
halibut# console -v rfc-portserver
console: rfcudev1: server rfc-portserver not found
halibut#

The same thing happens to the other lines if the names don't match.
If I read the man page correctly, this should work.

cheers,
