I had a bb-host entry that looked like the following:

TRENDS:vmstat:vmstat2|vmstat3|vmstat6|vmstat7|\
vmstat8|vmstat9|vmstat0,\
netstat:netstat0|netstat1|netstat2|netstat3
In the above format I would not get vmstat[8,9,0] TRENDS but I would get
the netstat TRENDS.
When I changed the lines to look like the following it all worked.
128.210.003.177 zorn.math.purdue.edu # \
bbd ntp ssh smtp imaps pop3s \
http://hobbit.math.purdue.edu/ \

TRENDS:vmstat:vmstat2|vmstat3|vmstat6|vmstat7|vmstat8|vmstat9|vmstat0,\
netstat:netstat0|netstat1|netstat2|netstat3
Is there something in the TRENDS format that require things to be on the
same line?
No, but your first format is introducing white space in the list of TRENDS, so
you should either avoid breaking a single token, or avoid leading spaces on a
continued line.
