I've made an enhancement to the client-side "logfetch" utility so
that multiple ignore- and trigger-lines is possible. I just need to 
do a bit more testing, and then I'll make it available.

Check if the configuration data makes it to the client. Does this
data show up in the client's ~hobbit/client/tmp/logfetch.HOSTNAME.cfg
file ?

If it does, then pick any status page from this host and click on the
"Client data" link near the bottom of the page. Look for the "[msgs:...]"
and "[logfile:...]" sections. Is there one for the client.nmbd.log file ?
