Configuring Hobbit 4.2.0 to save various test results on disk

Hi,
Im migrating from Big Bro and have a test that I send back to the BB
server called "WHOZIT" - I then parse those files on the BB server and
generate additional and combined results pages.
On Hobbit, it appears that this "storing" of data received is turned
off. I looked at my Debian Lenny configuration files for this and it
looks like I have to enable "data" in my /etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.cfg
file. This is what I did:
[bbdata]
ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/data.log
hobbitd_filestore --data
restarting the hobbit server and looking later in /var/lib/hobbit/logs
and /data, I only see a couple of new files for the local machine.
So I dont think I understand how to configure this properly. I am just
dumping a bunch of plaintext out from my client and sending it back - I
really dont even care about the status part - I just want the text, and
I only need to store it for the WHOZIT test, I dont care about storing
raw data files for any other test.
I would appreciate a pointer to the docs or tips on how to do this.

thanks,
Matt
