[hobbit] hobbit and bigsister

Hobbit creates its disk rrd files with the name of the mount/partition 
in the filename...ie.  "disk,$mountpoint.rrd".
Since your BigSister client is reporting the mount point as "N/A", 
Hobbit is trying to create a file called "disk,N/A.rrd", and UNIX is 
interpreting the "/A" as being a subdirectory (which doesn't exist), 
thus getting the error.

The solution is to either fix the bigsister client so that it properly 
reports the mountpoints in its disk test, or use a bb client instead 
which doesnt seem to have this problem.
