The "NEEDS hobbitd" line means that the "hobbitd" task must be started,
before "hobbitclient" will run. Since there is no "hobbitd.log" in 
that directory either, I assume you have disabled the "hobbitd" task.
Perhaps this is a server that only runs network tests ?

Anyway, remove the "NEEDS hobbitd" line, and it should start up
just fine.
