Do you use the central or local mode of BBWin ?

Depending the mode you use, you may add ignore rules in your BBWin.cfg
(local mode) or client-local.cfg (win32 section) on the hobbit server.

Example for local mode in BBWin.cfg :
<ignore logfile="Application" type ="Error" eventid="2001" />

Example for central mode in client-local.cfg :
[win32]
eventlog:application
ignore 2001
