I suspect this may happen if you run bbmrtg with BBHOME pointing to
the Hobbit installation - because the "touchtime" utility does not
exist. So you get "timediff" to be negative from the awk command.

If you have GNU date installed, I'd just replace that line with

        timenow=`date +%s`

and see if that resolves it.
