Sure enough, /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp was not writable by the hobbit

Ideally, yes. But to simplify the installation the client I
decided to just keep everything below the client/ directory
by default - including the tmp/ and logs/ directories.
Of course, now that it can write things, it's complaining about
something else (can't read the /proc directory, since I run Mandriva in
paranoid mode....)
For getting stats from a Linux box, you really need access to
the /proc directory. Most of the standard tools collect their
information there.
