It should, provided that hobbitd saves and loads the checkpoint file.
To do that, your hobbitd command in hobbitlaunch.cfg must include
the options 
   --restart=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-file=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk

These files are purely for backwards compatibility with BB scripts.
Hobbit doesn't use any of the files from the data/disabled directory,
but relies solely on the Hobbit daemon (hobbitd) to maintain the
state of all hosts and tests.
