That is what I thought but I'm not getting anything to the server.
Is the client software running on the clients? Do you see anything in the client log files on these clients? Do you see anything in the ghosts report on the Hobbit server? When you start the client up, does the hostname printed out match the name you are using in bb-hosts ?
The only items that I see are the tests listed in the bb-hosts file:
I note that the recommendation is to use FQDNs ... if your servers have FQDNs as their host name, this is most likely the cause of your problems.

Am I just not telling the client or the server something.  I have tried to
edit the hobbit-client.cfg file on the server to include:
The hobbit-client.cfg or client-local.cfg files don't determine whether or not you see data from the clients, only how Hobbit interprets the data, and what additional data the client sends (respectively). Without configuring anything, you should still see the cpu, disk, memory checks at minimum.
