[rancid] hlogin works, clogin fails: Why is clogin running?

I have a handful of Procurve switches that need to be backed up.

My router.db looks like this:

usancddswt01;hp;up
usancssswt01;hp;up
uscmdprswt01;hp;up
useugofswt01;hp;up
usggzsdswt01;hp;up
ushqzofswt01;hp;up
uslog00swt01;hp;up
usloginswt01;hp;up
uslogofswt01;hp;up
...etc...snip...

I can run:
hlogin -c "show run" usancddswt01

...and it connects, logs in, executes 'show run', and logs off...perfect.

When I run rancid-run however, it seems to be running clogin instead of hlogin.

Am I correct in thinking that hlogin should be running because
router.db lists the switch type as 'hp'?

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

-A
