I've lost track of what you want to do.

BBALPHAMSG contains the text in a Hobbit "status" message, which is the
only thing that can trigger an alert.

Are you referring to the data for a "msgs" status column ? The Hobbit 
client does not implement data collection for the "msgs" column, so 
that can never trigger an alert. Until I've found a good way of doing
system log monitoring, you can use some of the BB add-on scripts from
deadcat.net - these should generate a normal status message and hence
show up in the normal way for your alerts (including BBALPHAMSG).
