Configuring Hobbit 4.2.0 to save various test results on disk

Hi,

Im migrating from Big Bro and have a test that I send back to the BB 
server called "WHOZIT" - I then parse those files on the BB server and 
generate additional and combined results pages.

On Hobbit, it appears that this "storing" of data received is turned 
off.  I looked at my Debian Lenny configuration files for this and it 
looks like I have to enable "data" in my /etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.cfg 
file. This is what I did:


[bbdata]
	ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
	NEEDS hobbitd
	CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data   --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/data.log 
hobbitd_filestore --data



restarting the hobbit server and looking later in /var/lib/hobbit/logs 
and /data, I only see a couple of new files for the local machine.

So I dont think I understand how to configure this properly.  I am just
dumping a bunch of plaintext out from my client and sending it back - I
really dont even care about the status part - I just want the text, and 
I only need to store it for the WHOZIT test, I dont care about storing
raw data files for any other test.

I would appreciate a pointer to the docs or tips on how to do this.

hobbit/lenny uptodate 4.2.0.dfsg-14lenny2

thanks,

Matt
