hobbit-clients.cfg LOG problem

Hi All,

I'm trying to configure log file monitoring in hobbit-clients.cfg and am
having trouble with the ignore syntax.  This line (in the DEFAULT
section) works for me:
LOG %.* %NOTICE|ERROR|OFFLINE|failed COLOR=yellow IGNORE=%compression

Status goes yellow on the matching strings and ignores "compression."
If I try to add multiple strings to the IGNORE statement, it breaks --
it still turns yellow correctly, but nothing is ignored.  I've tried the
following to no avail:

LOG %.* %NOTICE|ERROR|OFFLINE|failed COLOR=yellow
IGNORE=%compression|nis_bind_broadcast
LOG %.* %NOTICE|ERROR|OFFLINE|failed COLOR=yellow
IGNORE=%(compression|nis_bind_broadcast)
LOG %.* %NOTICE|ERROR|OFFLINE|failed COLOR=yellow
IGNORE=%"compression|nis_bind_broadcast"
LOG %.* %NOTICE|ERROR|OFFLINE|failed COLOR=yellow
IGNORE="%compression|nis_bind_broadcast"

Version is 4.2.0.  I'm sure it's something simple, but anyone know what
I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
Matt
