Hi again and sorry for delay ,the problem is still there :)

Func's aim is to make the remote things as simple,fun as possible so we need 
to edit /etc/hosts and the other stuff, My mentor will say :) After we decide 
what todo on augeas i will post a detailed todo list to you if you wish ;)

I think i tried it with absolute_path but nothing changed .
Hmm ok i will the exact way of the TODO in your web site 

[makkalot at localhost func-prepare]$ export AUGEAS_ROOT=/tmp/augeas-sandbox
[makkalot at localhost func-prepare]$ echo $AUGEAS_ROOT
/tmp/augeas-sandbox
[makkalot at localhost func-prepare]$ mkdir $AUGEAS_ROOT
[makkalot at localhost func-prepare]$ su
Password:
[root at localhost func-prepare]# echo $AUGEAS_ROOT
/tmp/augeas-sandbox
[root at localhost func-prepare]# cp -pr /etc $AUGEAS_ROOT
[root at localhost func-prepare]# echo $USER
makkalot
[root at localhost func-prepare]# chown -R $USER $AUGEAS_ROOT
[root at localhost func-prepare]# su makkalot
[makkalot at localhost func-prepare]$ augtool -b
The root is (null)
The load path is (null)
The flags is : 1
I think here we have an error dude
augtool> print
/augeas
/augeas/root = "/tmp/augeas-sandbox/"
/augeas/save = "backup"
augtool> set /files/etc/hosts/10000/ipaddr 192.168.0.1
augtool> set /files/etc/hosts/10000/canonical pigiron.example.com
augtool> set /files/etc/hosts/10000/alias[1] pigiron
augtool> set /files/etc/hosts/10000/alias[2] piggy
augtool> save
augtool> print
/augeas
/augeas/root = "/tmp/augeas-sandbox/"
/augeas/save = "backup"
/files
/files/etc
/files/etc/hosts
/files/etc/hosts/10000
/files/etc/hosts/10000/ipaddr = "192.168.0.1"
/files/etc/hosts/10000/canonical = "pigiron.example.com"
/files/etc/hosts/10000/alias[1] = "pigiron"
/files/etc/hosts/10000/alias[2] = "piggy"
augtool> exit
 
Is there a way i can see log messages ,what is happening right now. In the 
above example i added some debug messages to the code ignore them. Because 
i'm not very familiar to the code base couldnt see where the problem is.

Thanks for help in advance ...
