The host name is picked up from the regular expression that matches
the filename in the find_files configuration parameters, specifically
the characters that are matched by a grouping in ()'s.  So the default
orcallator.cfg contains this:

find_files	@VAR_DIR@/orcallator/(.*)/(?:(?:orcallator)|(?:percol))
		-\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}(?:-\d{3,})?(?:\.(?:Z|gz|bz2))?

The hostname here is picked up from the (.*)

Best,
Blair
