Problem using bbwinupdate

Hello,

I have a problem with a bbwin client not updating its configuration as I'd
like it to. In the tmp folder on the client, only an empty file (1 byte)
appears and accordingly, the configuration stored on the server is not
applied. 

I am using Debian etch with Hobbit 4.2.0. The BBWin docs say I have to put
the files in $HOBBITHOME/server/etc, which I reckon to be
$BBHOME/server/etc. This folder contains a 'bbwinupdate' folder with the 2
configuration files for the server, and the server contains the following
section:

	<bbwinupdate>
		<setting name="filename" value="bbwinupdate/default.cfg" />
		<setting name="filename"
value="bbwinupdate/tamboernas01.cfg" />
	</bbwinupdate>

The rest of the cfg was copied out of the BBWin manual, adjusting only the
"bbdisplay" value to point at the server. All the graphs are updating
nicely. Oddly enough, I don't see the "default.cfg" file in the tmp folder
on the client. "default.cfg" file contains the configuration example from
the manual save for the bbwin section, and the "tamboernas01.cfg" contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii" ?>
<configuration>
        <disk>
                <setting name="C" warnlevel="80" paniclevel="95%" />
                <setting name="E" warnlevel="95%" paniclevel="98%" />
        </disk>
</configuration>

What am I missing? There are no signs of errors in the logfiles :(

Best regards,

Marijn Hofstra
