[hobbit] More on ghostlists

Further to my last email, I believe I have found the problem/bug/typo.

The following pathnames/lines are from my installed file locations but
you should be able to search/find them in your installed locations:

In /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg, line 47 looks like:
CGI_GHOSTS_OPT="--env=/opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg"

and in /opt/hobbit/cgi-bin/hobbit-ghosts.sh, line 6 the end of the line
looks like:
 bin/hobbit-ghosts.cgi $CGI_GHOSTS_OPTS

Changing hobbitcgi.cfg to:
CGI_GHOSTS_OPTS=

Makes it work correctly.
