Yes, but auto adding defeats the purpose of checking the host keys
(unless that's what you're going for)

The hashed hostname shouldn't be the problem, unless you're using a
very old version of paramiko (added in 1.5.3)

Can you use ssh from the command line to verify that your have the
remote host's key in your known_host file?
And, I assume your script is exiting on the "Host key could not be
verified: " line.

If you want to turn hashing off for easier debugging, set
"HashKnownHosts no" in your ssh config.
