James, I guess what you're missing is that the name of the server comes
the content of the <host> element, not <jabberd:cmdline>.  XML will not
strip the whitespace because, obviously, the application might want it. 
In this case we don't want it (leading and trailing whitespace make no
sense for a servername), but it's not being stripped by jabberd either. 
Solution: don't put whitespace inside your <host> element :)
