That was what it was supposed to do :-).   The idea is it should run 
everytime the file is sourced.  
if your /etc/sysconfig/network file doesn't have HOSTNAME= (or if it has 
HOSTNAME="" or HOSTNAME="localhost") anywhere in it, then the redhat 
scripts should automatically produce a hostname based on a reverse 
lookup of your ip.  For some reason, your system doesn't do that, so 
that line was to manaully make it do it.

More than likely you forgot a closing quote or something.
