[hobbit] "ports" RRD graph not showing up

[Jerry Yu]

no, I didn't change anything other than add the PORT under a HOST= inside
hobbit-clients.cfg.
1) Could you copy+paste your PORT line here? I got the impression Hobbit
Monitor is not fault-tolerant regarding the ordering of the directives on
some tests.
2) Or, could you try it without HOST wildcard, under a HOST=oneServerHere,
with your own PORT or mine?
3) as you can see, I am running out of ideas, since mine simply worked, with
PORT under a simple HOST= (non-wildcarded)
