New RD node cannot retrieve its host name

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Flash a new node with 3713 (Loco2). Do not add to OpenMesh db. 
2. Add node with name and MAC to robin-dash. Update
3. Check the host name via ssh and LWIF and it's still open-mesh (the default 
for a flashed node)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected the node to pull its host name: locosuction.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
robin-dash 0.7b4.
Could be a problem with support for the Loco. Have had other problems with that 
platform. Have not tested this with accton or EOC radios.

Please provide any additional information below, such as the network name,
and the Server URL (If not using the Hosted Version)

This is the intended behaviour, all nodes will checkin at the CloudTrax 
dashboard before any other, unless you change it to something else (either at 
CloudTrax or through the Local Web Interface (LWIF)). You can change to the 
Hosted Version of robin-dash using the following command:

uci set general.services.updt_srv="www.robin-dash.net"
uci commit general
update

Please re-visit.
This node is added to the dashboard:
uci set general.services.updt_srv=dash.mesquitonet.com/network/mesquito

The node is checking in at my robin-dash.  On my dashboard, it's showing up as 
"locosuction".  However, in both the LWIF and ssh, the device is still named 
open-mesh.
