Variables defined via external node script are not same as ones defined in manifests

Description

In converting to an external node classifier script all my if statements in templates started failing. While a variable created either via the script or a manifest would print the same they do not test the same.

The problem is that variables defined in a manifest are of class 'String', but variables defined via an external script are of class 'TrueClass'. This breaks all comparisons, since TrueClass needs to be converted to a string before you can run string comparisons on it.
