It sounds like the clients are still reporting to the server.  That's the only way I can think of that they would keep coming back.

Perhaps there is something wrong with my install then, I notice changes to the bb-hosts file as they are picked up (i.e. without having to force the change with s restart or HUP) yet I have waited over 24 hours and the output from bb ghostlist is still reporting an entry as a ghost. A full restart of hobbit resolves the issue.

I'm getting the same thing, though up to now it wasn't bothering me...  :)

It has been at least 3 days since I last updated my bb-hosts file to remove a couple of systems.  I also did "bb localhost 'drop xxx'".  There's no information left in the data directory belonging to those systems, and yet they still show up in the ghostlist.

The removed systems also show up in the Ghost Client report in the web page.  After 5 minutes, they disappear, then return some time later.  Even after they drop out of the Ghost Client report, they still show up in "bb localhost ghostlist".

This is in a test system running the Jan 25 2008 snapshot of 4.3.0.<http://4.3.0.>
