I tried to set up file monitoring today and after 1hr, I fixed it by 
restarting the hobbit server.  Not reloading, restarting.  So, restart your 
hobbit server after you changed the config files and the change is not 
detected.

You can also take a look in the tmp directory of the client. There should be a 
logfetch file if the client picks up the new configuration.  There should be 
2 files, one with the settings on the hobbit server and one with the status 
(this is a file used by the hobbit client to track the logfile).
