It could be the eth0 at the end.  It's been a fair while since I've read the
docs, however I thought those options went into /etc/dhcpcd.conf IIRC along
a syntax like "interface eth0", then just use the command /sbin/dhcpcd -h
co1234567-a

I thought that was how you specified host, but I could be thinking of pump.
If you still having further problems I'll see how mines setup when I get
