bbcmd is used to set the environment for other hobbit commands, so it 
must be followed by a command. Here, it tries to find the '127.0.0.1' 
command or executable which, I'm guessing, you don't have ;)

Almost right: don't specify the bin/ directory.

I'm guessing your host is named Kancharla-nullbox.imaginenetx.com. The 
syntax for the disable option of bb is:

bb <hobbitserver> "disable HOST.TEST DURATION [text]"

you have to replace the dots in your hostname with commas, so the rigth 
command would become:

/home/shire/server/bin/bbcmd bb 127.0.0.1 "disable 
Kancharla-nullbox,imaginenetx,com.* -1"

This will disable all the tests related to the host until OK.

See also the manpage for the bb-command.

HTH,
