You need 
  BBGHOSTS="2"
for the bogus hostnames to show up on the hobbitd report, but let's
assume for now that you have that.

I don't think I've ever tested the client with a Solaris/x86 box.
To begin with, go over to the client installation and see if there's
a "msg.txt" file in the ~hobbit/client/tmp/ directory. If there is,
please send me a copy of it. If not, then let's have a look at the
logfiles in the ~hobbit/client/logs/ directory.
