You also need to add

file:/export/home/dncs/mystro/bfs/Compass_OOB/rt.grp.z

As an entry in client-local.cfg. This should be the first entry and 
should start with the name of the machine you are monitoring e.g.

[foo.bar.org]
file:/export/home/dncs/mystro/bfs/Compass_OOB/rt.grp.z


You should probably add the entries for the host OS to this as well, as 
I believe that hobbit uses first match principles
