Have you ever tried "$man hobbitserver.cfg" ?

Your DF definitions are pretty weird for a Solaris client.
Did you compile it yourself?

This is what we have on Solaris 9/10 boxes:

$ grep DF hobbitclient.cfg
# DF,DFCMD and PS are for compatibility only, NOT USED by the Hobbit client
DF="/bin/df -k"
DFCMD="/bin/df -k"

My initial DF shows as 5% used, with only 103377k used, later I get a RED alert showing that this same filesystem is now at 103377% full.   Somehow, somewhere, my data for k's used turns itself into % used, thus creating a more than 90% used and turning into an alert...
