I do know why it works. That it fails to work on your machine is no indication of my (in)ability to check my work.

How is the name ""Nokia-N900-42-11" being correctly resolved to an IP address on your machine/network?
Much like you explained how "scp" magically worked on your N900? Much like you explained how to use the alternative archiving program that you pointed to?

I tend not to explain things that aren't going to damage a person's computer. And don't mind answering questions that arise because of some element that I introduced into a conversation.

At any rate, for the sake of not confusing things further and attempting to make this thread at least some-what OP related, two things that I believe make it work on my box and not yours are:
1) I have DHCP enabled
2) both my laptop and N900 are connected on the same wifi network.

That being said for the sake of clarity, my original post should have been something like this:

"If both your N900 is connected to your home wifi connection, you should be able to replace the IP address with the host name without modifying any files on your system."
