[hobbit] Alert Rules - DURATION not working

[David Gore]

Henrik, Tom,

My 15 minute DURATION fired.  I don't think it is a coincidence that it 
fired at 1 day and 5 hours.  I think the earlier possible bug where when 
you specify 15m you get a particularly large number is probably where 
the problem is.
