Check the bb-hosts file used by the BB clients - they have their own
file, with a definition of which server is the BBDISPLAY server.

I think your client bb-hosts file has the old BB server listed as
BBDISPLAY, instead of the Hobbit server.

You can have both, e.g. if you have the client installed in
/usr/local/bb/bbc1.9e-btf/ (the client $BBHOME setting) then in the
etc/bb-hosts file you can have

     10.0.0.1   bbserver.foo.com     # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER
     10.0.0.2   hobbitserver.foo.com # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER

The clients will then send their status updates to both servers.

Note: You need to restart the client after changing the bb-hosts file.
