Note that there is a mailing list for devmon. Since your mail doesn't contain 
anything related to Xymon, the devmon list would have been more appropriate.

Did you actually start devmon?

Note that devmon --readbbhosts does a one-shot detect-and-write run. It does 
not run in "normal" polling mode.

So all is good. You just need to start devmon.

Note that this message was present in your previous post too.

I think I have cleaned that (and a few other annoyances in --readbbhosts mode) 
up in svn.
