[hobbit] xymon pluggin not working on server

[David Hay Currie]

:/usr/lib/hobbit/client$ ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2009-11-19 13:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2009-11-19 13:05 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-11-19 13:05 bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   11 2009-11-19 13:05 etc -> /etc/hobbit
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-12-23 15:21 ext
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   15 2009-11-19 13:05 logs -> /var/log/hobbit
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   19 2009-11-19 13:05 tmp -> /var/lib/hobbit/tmp

Those are the access to the client folder, however I did not make
changes to it, since I did not copy files from the original server. It
is possible that the only other folder I copied was the etc/hobbit so I
would not have to type the config from scratch again. All files in the
etc are owned by root with access 644

There may be more permissions to fix in the client directory structure. 
Check /var/lib/hobbit/client.

Also, is the hobbitd_client process running?
