Kue 0.8.6 Redis always tries to connect to localhost

I’m attempting to upgrade Kue to the latest nom version (0.8.6). We have Kue 0.5 with the monkey-patch to get it connect to a remote redis and this works fine. I’ve removed the monkey patch and set up the following code:

var kue = require('kue');
var jobs = kue.createQueue({
    prefix: 'q',
    redis: {
        port:6379,
        host:'192.168.0.47',
        options: 
        }
    }
});

…yet Kue is still connecting to localhost and ignores the redis settings. Why is this? What have I overlooked?

The missing { was a typo - apologies. However, your comments have helped. There was no access to any Kue resource prior to createQueue - but there was a separate express server being instantiated. Moving createQueue above this step has got Kue trying to connect to the correct IP. The problem now is that I’m seeing an error:

Object #<RedisClient> has no method 'getKey'
    at Worker.getJob (/Users/al/Dropbox/Projects/admin2.roughtrade.com/node_modules/kue/lib/queue/worker.js:242:25)

Many thanks for you help with this
