You can not 'add' a new column.
If you send data to the hobbit server in your script, you have to make sure 
the syntax is correct.  One of the rules is <client name>.<check name>.  
Client name is the name like it appears in bb-hosts, the check name will be 
the new column name.

Dump the bb command you execute in your script to stdout and check for errors.  
Try to execute the same command on the command line and check for errors.

You can search in the data directory of the hobbit server.  Each server has a 
directory in the histlogs directory.  In this directory is a sub-directory 
per check/column.

You can also check the ghost client list.  There is an option in the top menu.
