[wants alerts to go to different people, depending on what filesystem is
 filling up]

You do that with the GROUP setting. In hobbit-clients.cfg, configure the
thresholds for the disks with a GROUP setting:

   HOST=appserver
      DISK /apps/vol1 80 90 GROUP=userfiles

Then in hobbit-alerts.cfg you use the GROUP value to direct alerts:

   GROUP=userfiles
   	MAIL some.user at domain.com

You can of course combine the GROUP setting in hobbit-alerts.cfg with
other criteria, e.g.

   GROUP=userfiles
        MAIL host1.user at domain.com HOST=appserver1
        MAIL host2.user at domain.com HOST=appserver2
