Could you try running "bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test foo cpu" ?

Also, if you add the option "--cfid" to the hobbitd_alert commandline
in hobbitlaunch.cfg, it will include the linenumber of the
hobbit-alerts.cfg file with each alert. That should make it easier to
track down what rules trigger an alert.
