Yes, it is intentional - the various "du" commands use different 
metrics: Some report kB, some report disk blocks (usually 512 bytes)...
To avoid having to know about the intricacies of each system,
Xymon just compares the number it gets from the client with the
number from hobbit-clients.cfg, withouth doing any kind of
math to convert numbers.
