[hobbit] purple clients problem

[Longina Przybyszewska]

I have it as well defined as WorkDir: /opt/hobbit/data/rrd
in /etc/mrtg.cfg.

The point is, that clients turn on purple after reboot.
Now it drives me crazy, because more and more worksations stay PURPLE.
It can't be mrtg problem - there are some machines which stay GREEN.

I started bb on the PURPLE client in debugging mode.
It seems that on the client is everything OK:

fra hobbitclient.log

How kan I debug server side to see where is the black whole for all the 
client information?
