Dumb question #1 – is there anything showing up in the ghost client list?

Thanks,
John

Subject: [Xymon] Troubleshooting XymonPS

Hi all,
I'm possibly going to make a fool out of myself here but thought I would pose the question any way.
Thanks to all involved in making the PS client, seems like it's going to be a great tool for me but I need to work out what I am doing wrong.
I have installed Xymonclient.ps1 on my server (windows server 2012) in c:\program files\xymon.

 Directory of C:\Program Files\Xymon

18-03-15  17:09    <DIR>          .
18-03-15  17:09    <DIR>          ..
18-03-15  10:09    <DIR>          logs
18-03-15  07:49           331.264 nssm.exe
18-03-15  15:09           107.232 xymonclient.ps1
18-03-15  15:30               380 xymonclient_config.xml
18-03-15  07:49           396.800 XymonPSClient.exe
18-03-15  07:50             1.841 xymonsend.ps1
I have a service running called XymonPSClient.
I have log files saying data is being collected and data has been sent:

end of log file here:
2015-03-18 17:50:52  Main and optional tests finished.
2015-03-18 17:50:52  Sending to server
2015-03-18 17:50:52  Connecting to host (ip of my server)
2015-03-18 17:50:52  Sent 49192 bytes to server
2015-03-18 17:50:52  Received 0 bytes from server
2015-03-18 17:50:52  Executing RepeatTests
2015-03-18 17:50:52  RepeatTests finished
2015-03-18 17:50:52  Delaying until next run: 295.7656229 seconds
But when I check Xymon, no client data is actually being received, no columns are appearing for the host I defined in bb-hosts. I did a

./bb localhost "hobbitdboard host=(my host name)"
and there is no client information there other than  trends/info/conn which is fetched by the Xymon server.
Couple of points:
- There are no registry entries for XymonPSClient at the locations listed in the readme
- I am using an older version of Xymon (hobbit) which works fine with bbwin.
- telnet to hobbit server using port 1984 - all ok.
- xymon-lastcollect.txt has all the information inside that I expect.
XymonSettings as follows:

[XymonConfig]

Any ideas?
Many thanks, sorry for long message but wanted to include as much info as possible.
