Lets see your hobbitlaunch.cfg setup for the [rrdstatus] and [rrddata]
tasks. Also, could you run this command for 10 minutes (as the hobbit
user) and let us see what it reports:

   bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=status \
   	hobbitd_capture --tests=YOUR-COLUMN-NAME

That will tell us what kind of data arrives from your test script.

Does your server-side script run at all ? Put a line like
    echo "This is my script" >/tmp/itruns
and see if the /tmp/itruns file appears when the status is updated.

Have you checked the Hobbit log-files in ~hobbit/server/logs/ ? The
hobbitlaunch.log file and rrd-status.log file.
