What happens to client data after handoff?

[Matthew Tice]

I'm trying to trace why my rrd file isn't being created.  Maybe it has
something to do with the output of my script?  If I run the following
command it shows the transmission is successful.

root at tice:/home/hobbit# /home/hobbit/client/bin/bb --debug 127.0.0.1 "data
tice.blocked `cat /blocks.txt`"
2008-04-01 11:07:18 Transport setup is:
2008-04-01 11:07:18 bbdportnumber = 1984
2008-04-01 11:07:18 bbdispproxyhost = NONE
2008-04-01 11:07:18 bbdispproxyport = 0
2008-04-01 11:07:18 Recipient listed as '127.0.0.1'
2008-04-01 11:07:18 Standard BB protocol on port 1984
2008-04-01 11:07:18 Will connect to address 127.0.0.1 port 1984
2008-04-01 11:07:18 Connect status is 0
2008-04-01 11:07:18 Sent 38 bytes
2008-04-01 11:07:18 Closing connection

If I look into the hobbit logs it's not showing anything useful (in fact,
the logs aren't even updated after the command is run).

So my question is, after the transmission of the data to the server, what
happens?  Also, there is plenty of documentation out there on how to format
a custom STATUS message, but I can't find anything for a custom DATA message
(e.g. do I leave the $COLOR in the command, etc.?).  How should DATA
messages be configured?

Any help would be appreciated.
