SVCCODES has nothing to do with what tests you run. You must add the
test definitions to the bb-hosts file for the host you want to perform
this test on.

What kind of tests - network tests or a custom test ? From the names
"scmb" and "merva" it sounds like these are custom tests.

Network tests must be defined in the bb-services file. 

Custom tests have to send in a "status" message, and then they will 
show up automatically. Hobbit doesn't magically know what a "scmb" 
test is; you must explicitly run this test either as a server-side 
or client-side extension script.
