i realized after i posted that i can, indeed, type at the erlang
shell and run commands.  the error above is coming from the
master:checkin()
call implied by the -run flag.  if i run it by hand at the prompt i get,
the same error appears, even though the nodename appears correct:

(node@REDACTED)2> master:checkin().
 
=ERROR REPORT==== 4-Apr-2002::15:33:19 ===
** System running to use fully qualified hostnames **
** Hostname kestrel is illegal **
{checkin,'node@REDACTED'}
(node@REDACTED)3> node().
'node@REDACTED'
