passwd ignores hostspec parameter in backends.php

Dear list

I run Horde with IMP and Passwd on machine A (wallach.ideeel.net)  
which authenticates against machine B (mysql.ideeel.net) via a mysql  
table.
In my backends.php (on wallach) I have hostspec set to "'hostspec'    
=> 'mysql.ideeel.net'".
However, when I run passwd it does not query the
remote machine but the localhost instead. This was confirmed by  
checking mysql logs on both machines.
Thus, the hostspec value seems to be ignored. How do I solve this?

(Running Horde 3.1.1 and Passwd h3-3.0)

thanks for any help
