I created a temporary hobbit-client.cfg file to test and put the
IGNORE pattern on DEFAULT instead of
host specific like you suggested and *only* then I get the expected result.

(hobbit)@hobbit:~/server$ ./bin/hobbitd_client
--config=/tmp/hobbit-clients.cfg --test

So I just removed that host specific rule and moved the IGNORE pattern
to DEFAULT.
Nasty workaround if you ask me :-)

Thanks for the help
