Somehow I doubt that it works. hobbitd_client is fed via a mechanism
involving semaphores and shared memory, so it should really run from
hobbitlaunch to make sure you have various permissions set right.

Which version is this ? 4.1.2p1, or one of the snapshots ?
Have you looked at the logfiles, or tried running the hobbitd_client
core-dump through gdb as described in the "Known Problems" doc ?

Because the bbd network test is not being executed for this host. Check
your bb-hosts file, it must have a "bbd" tag defined for your hobbit
server.
