[hobbit] Can't get DOWNTIME= to work

And I've found that the first part of my line even works -- it did
provide for downtime from 5:30 to 5:35 and it provided the
BANRECT-related reason. Maybe I need the http: for the second one also?
Guess it couldn't hurt, but the manual does not mention using a column
on the second one.

See, what your example also lacks is use of a column, which is something
that's missing in the example, and a cause.
