From the command line you pasted, "/opt/bb/bb16e1/bin/bb", it looks like you 
are using a bb binary other than the one provided by hobbit ? You can confirm 
if this binary supports the debug flag by just issuing the, "bin/bb" command. 
It will list out the supported options.

I presently use BigBrother 1.9c w/ bbgen 3.6. The bb binary produced is able 
to successfully query the bb19c+bbgen3.6 server. But when I attempt to query 
my test Hobbit server, I will get a connection timeout. My solution was to 
take hobbit's bb binary, and copy it to my BigBrother server. I renamed it to 
bb2, and it can query BigBrother & Hobbit servers without a problem. so I 
just use the bb2 binary when I want to perform queries in my ext scripts.

Hope this helps,
