hobbit_snmpcollect configuration question

I'm trying to test out hobbit_snmpcollect and I'm not seeing new columns for the 
host in question or new rrd's in the data directory. I am seeing the full debug 
output in the logfile specified in hobbitlaunch.cfg, just nothing in hobbit. Do 
I need to make changes to bb-hosts as well? Here's what I've added to my configs:

----------------------------------------------------------
hobbitlaunch.cfg:
[hobbit_snmpcollect]
         ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
         NEEDS hobbitd
         CMD hobbit_snmpcollect --debug
         LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/hobbit_snmpcollect.log
         INTERVAL 5m

----------------------------------------------------------
hobbit-snmpmibs.cfg:
stock version (copied from the build directory)

----------------------------------------------------------
hobbit-snmphosts.cfg:
[hostname.example.com]
    version=2
    community=public
    systemmib
    ifmib
----------------------------------------------------------

Log message looks typically like this:

...(lots of successful-looking parsing messages for hobbit_snmpmibs.cfg)...

----------------------------------------------------------

Nothing is coming in on the status channel.

Should systemmib and ifmib be showing up as new columns for that host?
