[hobbit] "ports" RRD graph not showing up

It takes up one less line in the config file ;-)
The main reason is, all the other HOST= tags I've used worked fine, so
I don't have to create a separate HOST= section for only one or two
tests that are specific to that one host, and I can use the regex
HOST= section for all of the machines at once.

I don't think the inclusion of the HOST= tag is the problem anyway.
But, if all else fails, I'll try it on its own, just for grins.
