Give this a try:
HOST=s068a300
LOG %.* %(fatal|error) IGNORE=%(?-i)smb_proc_readdir_long
From hobbit-client.cfg(5):
...
Note that Xymon defaults to case-
insensitive pattern matching; if that is not what you want,
put "(?-i)" between the "%" and the regular expression to
turn this off. E.g. "%(?-i)HTTPD" will match the word HTTPD
only when it is upper-case.

I don't think this is supported.
Rules are separated with | (pipe)
E.g.: IGNORE=%(?-i)forceload|hypervisor\sLDC
BTW: hobbitd_client can be used for testing your rules:
[bb (at) iris bin]$ ./hobbitd_client --test
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: testhost
Hosttype []: linux
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): log
log filename: /var/log/messages
To read log data from a file, enter '@FILENAME' at the prompt
log line: Testmessage ERROR smb_proc_readdir_long
log line:
Log status is green
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [testhost]:

Hi
I have some difficulties to ignore some messages using the
hobbit-client.cfg file.
I want to ignore all messages that contain the word "smb_proc_readdir_long".
So I build such rule:
HOST=s068a300
LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red
IGNORE=smb_proc_readdir_long
LOG %.* warning COLOR=yellow
I also tried IGNORE=%smb...
If I write a message to /var/log/user like this:
logger -p daemon.notice Testmessage ERROR smb_proc_readdir_long
the message is not ignored by Hobbit:
System logs at Fri Sep 4 11:08:39 CEST 2009
Critical entries in /var/log/messages
.2009/09/04 11:03:53][s068a300:daemon.notice] root: Testmessage ERROR
smb_proc_readdir_long
.2009/09/04 11:03:53][s068a300:daemon.notice] root: Testmessage ERROR
smb_proc_readdir_long
Another question: if I have many IGNOREs, can I put them on multiple
lines for readability like this:
HOST=s068a300
LOG %.* %(fatal|error) COLOR=red
IGNORE=smb_proc_readdir_long
IGNORE=blabla
IGNORE=nonsense
LOG %.* warning COLOR=yellow
