When the client system had both "/" and "/root", this had the nifty side

Two file systems "/" and "/root" were being called the same thing in
terms of rrd: "root". Oooops.
SO.......... While I decided to simply move the "/root" crud to
somethere that made more sense... I have apparently tripped upon
something that hobbit+rrd isn't prepared to deal with, which is a file
system called "/root". While I think this would be rare, it's
possible. Not sure how it would be handled? Maybe call the "/" file
system "root~" or include some other special character in the name?
You're right that Hobbit didn't anticipate this setup. The disk-RRD
naming was adopted from LARRD which uses this scheme; Hobbit just
kept it to maintain compatibility and because I didn't expect it
to cause any problems.
I think this is sufficiently rare that it's not really worth the
effort to arrange for some special-case handling of a "/root"
filesystem. So - at least for now - I'll leave it as-is.
