I would have a look in /var/log/xymon/bb-display.log and 
/var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.log .

You may also want to run 'rpm -V xymon' to check for permissions problems. 
Specifically, /var/lib/hobbit/www must be writable by the xymon user. If you 
are unsure, provide the output of:

# ls -ld /var /var/lib /var/lib/xymon /var/lib/xymon/www


(I don't have any Xymon servers running RHEL3, I mainly build packages for our 
two remaining RHEL3 xymon clients, but the packages built from the same SRPM 
work out-the-box on RHEL4, RHEL5, Mandriva 2009.0, Mandriva 2009.1 - the 
previous hobbit packages were also built for a few other distros as well as 
Solaris)
