[Xymon] BBWin 0.12 and disk use

Which version of BBWin could you not get to work?

I've got BBWin 0.12 and 0.13 clients all running in centralised mode and
all installed to C:\program files\BBWin with no issues other that the
File modified time monitor which seems to be down to the way Windows
sees UTC time anyway. (For anyone who was wondering if I'd found a fix
for that yet, we've written an external script to do it and that works
perfectly)

Phil, 

Can you post up your whole analysis.cfg file? (I know there might be
good reasons you can't). 

I suspect it must be some other entry in your analysis.cfg that is
getting picked up first. Try moving the lines for this host to the top
of the file and see if that solves the problem. It's not really a fix
but it will at least help you see if there could be something else that
is currently matching before this.

Regards,
Neil.
