The hobbit client uses a format that the bb server will not understand.  
External scripts will work fine because they use the "BB protocol".

BB server: understands BB protocol
hobbit server: understands BB and hobbit protocol

BB client: uses BB protocol
hobbit client: uses hobbit protocol

BB and hobbit external scripts: uses BB protocol
