As far as I can tell there's no reason to believe that this is a CCL bug
as opposed to a simple misconfiguration.  Some suggestions:

1.  What is the definition of "ccl:tools;asdf-install;"?  Take a look
with translate-logical-pathnames

2.  Use find or that apple thingy to figure out where the file
"hunchentoot.asd" is located.  Then see if you can find it within the
paths in asdf:*central-registry*

3.  I can't figure out whether you installed it with asdf-install or by
hand.  If the former, then you may need to jigger
asdf:*central-registry* to agree with where asdf-install puts its asd
files.  Possilby these are in a directory like /usr/lib/asdf-install/systems

The key is to find hunchentoot.asd and then see if its in your
asdf:*central-registry* somewhere...
