per the bb man page:

status[+LIFETIME][/group:GROUP] HOSTNAME.TESTNAME COLOR <additional text>
This sends in a status message for a single test (column) on a single 
host.......The LIFETIME defines how long this status is valid after being 
received by the Hobbit server. The default is 30 minutes, but you can set any 
period you like. E.g. for a custom test that runs once an hour, you will want 
to set this to at least 60 minutes - otherwise the status will go purple 
after 30 minutes. It is a good idea to set the LIFETIME to sligtly more than 
the interval between your tests, to allow for variations in the time it takes 
your test to complete. The LIFETIME is in minutes, unless you add an "h" 
(hours), "d" (days) or "w" (weeks) immediately after the number, 
e.g. "status+5h" for a status that is valid for 5 hours. 

so change you bb status to status+75 or some such.
