HP OEMs a lot of their network hardware; so while badged hp, its not one
to rancid due to the o/s.  look at rancid.types.base; there are a number
of comments there about HP devices and the rancid types that are known to
work with them.

h3crancid is a 3rdparty module.  Those errors imply to me that some command
required by that module are not implemented by the device.

the errors before that appear to be programming errors, likely grammar
that was permissible in a previous version of perl.
