I could test your rule successfuly on our Xymon installation:

[bb at iris bin]$ ./hobbitd_client --test
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: iris
Hosttype []:
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): log
log filename: /var/adm/messages
To read log data from a file, enter '@FILENAME' at the prompt
log line: Nov 18 09:15:08 iris fcsm: [ID 517869 kern.warning] WARNING: 
fcsm(0): fc packet to DID 0xfffffa failed state: Packet Transport 
error(0xe); reason: No Connection(0x5)
log line:
Log status is green

Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [iris]:



- Make sure you don't have other rules for /var/adm/messages in 
hobbit-clients.cfg.

- Check your pcre installation.

[bb at iris bin]$ pcretest
PCRE version 7.7 2008-05-07

The above check shows that pcre is behaving as expected. (see man page 
for pcretest)
