My Solaris 8 man-page says:

     EINVAL
           The size argument  is  less  than  the  system-imposed
           minimum or greater than the system-imposed maximum.

Cannot be this, since your shm settings are for a size between 
1 and 16000000 - the Hobbit request of 262144 bytes fits this.

     EINVAL
           A shared memory identifier exists for key but the size
           of  the  segment  associated with it is less than size
           and size is not equal to 0.

Sounds like this is the one. Your old Hobbit may still be running ?

Login as the Hobbit user and do an "ipcs -m". If there are any segments
listed, either Hobbit is running or they weren't cleaned up properly
upon shutdown. In that case, you can remove them with "ipcrm".
