There's a generic "schedule" command in the Hobbit protocol to do that.
You can put a "schedule TIMESTAMP" in front of any command and Hobbit
will execute that command at the requested time. TIMESTAMP is a Unix
epoch time (seconds since Jan 1 1970). So your command would be:

STARTTIME=`date +%s --date="$START_OF_DISABLE"`
$BB $BBDISP "schedule $STARTTIME disable $MACHINE.$TEST $DURATION"

That is in fact how the scheduled enable/disable works when you 
use it via the Web GUI.
