I know, I found the culprit:
2009-03-04 00:05:47 Cannot create 
file /home/users/hobbit/server/tmp/ping-stdout.2056 : Permission denied
2009-03-04 00:05:47 Cannot create 
file /home/users/hobbit/server/tmp/ping-stderr.2056 : Permission denied
2009-03-04 00:05:50 xgetenv: Cannot find value for variable $BBTMP
2009-03-04 00:05:50 hobbitping child could not create outputfiles in (null)
2009-03-04 00:05:50 Cannot open ping output 
file /home/users/hobbit/server/tmp/ping-stdout.2056

This is caused by a configure scripts that does a chown root for all hobbit 
files and changes the required files back to owner hobbit.

For me, OK = green.  I didn't expected that a clear message would count as OK.
