[hobbit] DOWNTIME in bb-hosts not working for client-based test

Every evening I shutdown my bb-client server. I disable all tests. This morning I didn't start the machine before the disabletime runout. I thought I should test the DOWNTIME i bb-hosts, so I put this in:
 
DOWNTIME=*:1800:0700
 
The connectiontests (conn, ftp and telnet) becam blue but the local tests (cpu, disk....) still was purple.
 
I think this is the same as Robert got.
 
Regards
Lars

the manpage for bb-hosts says this should read DOWNTIME=0:0400:0445
