It takes a while for the client-local.cfg settings to percolate over to
the client itself (a: hobbitd has to reload the file, b: the client has
to contact the Hobbit server and pickup the setting, c: it won't take
effect until the next run of the client) - up to 15 minutes.

And of course - it assumes you're running the clients with server-side
configuration. Some still prefer to keep configuration settings on the
clients.
