First thing to do is check that logfile you have in
/var/log/hobbit/bb-xsnmp.log and see if it shows any errors.

The most common reason for BB extensions failing with Hobbit is that
some environment variables defined by the BB configuration files are
not setup by Hobbit. Especially if you have added your own custom
settings in bbsys.local.
