Actually there is no /hostname:<var> switch. I guess what you're looking for is 
the /host:<var> switch.

I guess due to the use of unsupported /hostname switch your parameters are 
ineffective. Using the /host:<name> arguement should overwrite WPKG internal 
hostname and therefore also allow you to use this name in logfiles (config.xml):

<param name='logfilePattern' value='wpkg-[HOSTNAME].log' />


Sent this to the list as well for reference.
