Do you have "--no-pin" on the CGI_ACK_OPTS setting in hobbitcgi.cfg ?
That would let them ack multiple alerts from one webpage.

You can send an ack with the "bb" tool

  bb IP.OF.HOBBIT.SERVER "hobbitdack 123 60 PSU replacement henrik"

would send an ack for the event with ID 123, valid for 
60 minuter. The text for the ack is the remainder of the command.
But you need to know the ID for each event (it's included in
the alert e-mail).

There's also the hobbit-mailack utility, which lets them send
ack's via e-mail.
