I believe I found the issue.

2006-08-14 10:52:58 Cannot open PID file /home/hobbit/logs/hobbitd.pid:
No such file or directory

Even though I set the log dir to /home/hobbit/log in ./configure, it
seems that make install won't overwrite hobbitserver.cfg with the new
setting (log vs logs). Should it? I must have mistyped it once and it
seems to have stuck.

Changing that manually and restarting solved the problem.
