The asterisk may be confusing it. Try enclosing the lines in quotes:
type: savepnpc;
precmd: "echo hello";
pstcmd: "/bin/rm -rf /home/production/archive/*";
timeout: "12:00:00";

Also, you *must* have a blank line at the end of the file. It looks as if
you have one already, but it pays to double-check. And you might want to try
adding the line, "abort precmd with group: No;" after the timeout: line and
before the blank line.
