The entry in the bb-hosts file must be the same as the entry on the ghost 
client page.  

Or. you can overrule this with the CLIENT option in the bb-hosts file.

From the bb-hosts man page:
CLIENT:hostname
 Defines an alias for a host, which will be used when identifying status 
messages. This is typically used to accomodate a local client that sends in 
status reports with a different hostname, e.g. if you use hostnames with 
domains in your Hobbit configuration, but the client is a silly Window box 
that does not include the hostname. Or vice versa. Whatever the reason, this 
can be used to match status reports with the hosts you define in your 
bb-hosts file. It causes incoming status reports with the specified hostname 
to be filed using the hostname defined in bb-hosts.
