I haven't quite understood exactly which servers are running BBDISPLAY 
and which are proxying and who should talk to who, but I think the
problem might have to do with the port 1986. Several of the tools - 
including bbgen (generates the overview webpages) and hobbitsvc.cgi 
(generates the detailed status view) talk to hobbitd over the network,
so they may have to be tweaked to communicate with a hobbitd on port
1986.

For troubleshooting, could you try running

   BBPORT=1986; export BBPORT
   bb ip.of.your.bbdisplay hobbitdboard

This should fetch the current status from your server using port 1986.

Now I'll go re-read your mail in greater detail and see if I can figure
out what your setup is :-)
