If you have a "disk" status then for this host, then the status is
generated on the client - ie. the client is NOT reporting any data that
is analysed by hobbit-clients.cfg; instead, the client determines the
status color by itself and just reports a "status" message instead of
the raw client data.

There are only two possible explanations: The client is either running
the old Big Brother client (not the Hobbit client), or it is running the
Hobbit client in the "local" configuration mode where the data is
analysed on the client instead of being analysed on the Hobbit server.
Check the "clientlaunch.cfg" config file on the client, and see if the
[client] section CMD setting includes the "--local" option.

If you do want to run the client in the local-config mode, then changes
to the hobbit-clients.cfg file must be done on the client machine,
instead of on the Hobbit server.
