You shouldn't need to touch anything here.

I have only used the bbwin client for windows (bbwin.sf.net), not the Big 
Brother NT client. The bbwin client reports CPU usage to hobbit in the 
correct format for it to be graphed.

Please provide some real details of what you are running on this client, if 
you're not running bbwin. On all the unix hosts, the hobbit client should be 
used ...
