Could it be that the clients are reporting as a name different than the name you have in the bb-hosts file?
If yes, then check out the CLIENT: directive for the bb-hosts file. I have had this happen to me a couple times.

Hi Henrik
Sorry to ask this directly, hopefully you can help me. I have asked this of
the group a couple of times but have not had a suitable answer back.
I am trying to use the output received from hobbitd when issuing the bb
ghostlist command. The command reports correctly, but after modifying the
bb-hosts file, ghostlist continues to report ghosts. I need to do a full
restart of hobbit to get hobbitd reporting correctly.
I started digging through the source tonight but I have to admit that I just
can't understand C well enough. hobbitd knows the bb-hosts file has been
updated because the host appears on the webpage, but ghostlist still reports
it incorrectly.
Is a restart the only way to resolve this? Could I HUP a process to fix it?
Many thanks
Phil
