The command
   bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard"
is your friend, combined with a bit of scripting. E.g:

> Is it possible to remove a single test from *all* hosts?
bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=MYTEST fields=hostname" |
   while read H; do bb 127.0.0.1 "drop $H MYTEST"; done

> Or all tests from all hosts?
bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=info fields=hostname" |
   while read H; do bb 127.0.0.1 "drop $H"; done

> Or all tests that are purple?
bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard color=purple fields=hostname,testname" |
while read L; do
      HOST=`echo $L | cut -d'|' -f1`
      TEST=`echo $L | cut -d'|' -f2`
      bb 127.0.0.1 "drop $HOST $TEST"
done
