What is causing it to disregard this in Makefile.am?

zshcompletiondir=${datarootdir}/zsh/site-functions
zshcompletion=${zshcompletiondir}/_parallel
install-data-hook:
       mkdir -p ${datarootdir}/bash-completion/completions
       mkdir -p ${zshcompletiondir}

In my Makefile (on Ubuntu) I get:

datarootdir = ${prefix}/share
:
zshcompletiondir = ${datarootdir}/zsh/site-functions
zshcompletion = ${zshcompletiondir}/_parallel

which evaluates correctly.
