The error code basically means what it says: Hobbit couldn't create
the output file it needs for fping output. In the newer versions
it also prints out the system error-message which would have been
helpful here, but you should look for a cause that prevents files
from being created in this directory.

Most likely cause is that the /hobbit/server/tmp/ filesystem is full.
