I do something similar, but I have two levels to keep it somewhat sane...

subdir should be singular, e.g.:
/usr/bin/cfgmaker --if-template=iosv3.iftemplate --ifref=name
--interfaces --host-template=iosv3.template --subdir=site1/HOSTNAME
--username='foo' --authkey='0x21de...' --authproto='sha'
--privkey='0xa897...' --privproto=aesfcb128
--output=/var/mrtg/cfg/site1/site1-router.cfg
'foo'@site1-router.example.com::2:1:1:3

Not [hostname1], you need the individual targets there.  E.g.:
Directory[site1-router.example.com.cpu1]: site1/site1-router.example.com

Either way works, but if you have so many configs that you want separate
directories, it is more scalable to create a separate config file for
every device, then have a master mrtg.cfg with Include: statements for
each one.
