How long did you wait?  It takes a bit (10 minutes or more) for changes
in client-local.cfg to propagate to the clients (they have to detect the
change, and then pull it in, then act on it, and this takes a couple of
poll cycles).
I tried to set up file monitoring today and after 1hr, I fixed it by
restarting the hobbit server.  Not reloading, restarting.  So, restart your
hobbit server after you changed the config files and the change is not
detected.
I've also seen some cases where I need a restart for a threshold to be picked up, but I can't remember needing it for a change in client-local.cfg. So far it looks only like it happens when change where a hosts threshold configuration is (e.g. when adding a new HOST= section where the host was previously catered to by the DEFAULT).
