Based on the output of your interactive run, I suggest the host named 
"0FS_94_192_168_22_1__export_" is not defined in your hosts.cfg, but the 
xymon server is seeing messages being sent to it under this name.

Does it appear in your 'ghost report'?
If you define this name in hosts.cfg, do the nasty messages cease?
