Also, in my hobbitserver.cfg I have this:
MAILC="/bin/mailx"
MAIL="$MAILC -s" 
So the theory goes that when an alert occurs the /bin/mailx command is
executed with various different parameters.

The problem is, when I try and test it I get the following:

hobbit at hbt0:/opt/hobbit/server/etc>hobbitd_alert --test tac0.lon.ws.colt.net proc             
Always use the "bbcmd" utility to setup the environment for
your tests. That's the only way you can make sure hobbitd_alert
inherits the settings from your hobbitserver.cfg - if you don't
use bbcmd, then it will use the built-in (compile-time) defaults.

So your command should be
   bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test tac0.lon.ws.colt.net proc
