The most common cause of this is that the hostname used by the clients
doesn't match what's in your bb-hosts file on the server.

The clients pick up the hostname reported by "uname -n" - and often,
that is without the domain part. So your clients are reporting as
host "foo", but the Hobbit server expects it to be "foo.bar.com".

Either run the client with "--hostname=foo.bar.com", or put a
"CLIENT:foo" tag on the host in the bb-hosts file on the Hobbit 
server. (Note that the --hostname commandline option goes on the
runclient.sh command that starts the client, and it is only 
available with the client version from the snapshots - not in 
the 4.1.1 clients).
