I don't know, but:

 >>> from peak.api import *
 >>> PEAK_CONFIG = 'test.test'
 >>> config.lookup(config.makeRoot(),'__main__.PEAK_CONFIG')
'test.test'
 >>>

appears to work for me.  Have you checked that PEAK_CONFIG is equal to what 
you think it is?

Also, when you say it "won't run", that's not very specific.  :)
