While I'm not offering any help on why your expect script is failing
you, I would say that if you have a need to ssh into multiple machines
to copy config files and restart services, you should look into tools
like func and puppet.  Func is perfect for quick, one-off commands.
Puppet is better for complete configuration management.

As a t-shirt from Reductive Labs¹, the makers of Puppet said, "SSH in a
loop is _not_ a solution." ;)
