"$BB" in what I wrote is the ~hobbit/server/bin/bb command.
I'm afraid it is my over-exposure to Hobbit and Big Brother scripts
which makes this seem obvious. I guess it really isn't.
$ $bb 127.0.0.1 "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd"
This should work, if you run it as
  ~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd"
Henrik,
BIG Thanks ! this did work on the second attempt (LOL).

~hobbit/server I assume implies /home/hobbit/server
No, it means the subdirectory server below the user hobbit's home directory 
(since most shells expand ~<user> to be the home directory of <user>).
.... That is, if I 
had installed to the /home directory. I had actually installed to
/usr/local/etc/hobbit/
So, let's hope your hobbit user has a home directory of /usr/local/etc/hobbit 
(though, that is quite a weird place to install hobbit to, /usr/local/hobbit 
would make a lot more sense ...).

Regards,
Buchan
