Strange opping behaviour

I have a botnet with two bots on each shell.

When I op bot number 2 on a leaf host nothing happens, but if I op bot number 1 all bots gets opped as supposed. Why does'nt it work if I do with bot2?

When added to the hub bots userfile, it complained about not being able to add a hostmask for the second bot, because such a hostmask was already present. (Btw, is that problem?) I also tried adding the host manually so bot1 and bot2 has the exact same hostmask, but that still does'nt help. In all other ways, the bots are working, including eg. netsay.

Just to be precise, all bots get opped when I op either the hub bot or the first bot on each leaf host (including hub bot and both first and second bot on all hosts). If I op the second bot on the leaf hosts, nothing happens.
Also, in .match all the second bots (whether I have added a hostmask or not) have
LAST: never (nowhere), allthough they are on several channels and works fine.

One possible cause is the duplicate hosts, which can really confuse bots (they can't tell who is who). I'd suggest adding the nicknames to their hostmasks, e.g. NiceBot*!nice@very.niceshell.com, making sure there's a wildcard to deal with the bot's altnick (e.g. NiceBot2).

Another possible cause is that the bot flags and hostnames are not set up completely/correctly. Pick two bots (ignoring all the others) and carefully follow the guide at http://www.egghelp.org/faq.shtml#200
