Try "CLIENT:patches" instead of CLIENTNAME. This is probably just one of
those easy-to-make mistakes, but if in doubt I'd recommend
double-checking your syntax in the config-files against the docs in
the bb-hosts man page. Especially for bb-hosts, because you can put
anything in there and Hobbit will just ignore it silently (this is
on purpose, to allow for custom tests being configured through
bb-hosts).

No, the client messages aren't written anywhere - Hobbit keeps all of
the changing status information in memory. The only place on disk you'll
find some remnant of the information is in the
~hobbit/data/tmp/hobbitd.chk file; it is updated every 5 minutes and
contains a snapshot of what hobbitd currently has in memory. It is
used when Hobbit restarts, to provide an immediate full status until
all of the statuses have been updated.
