Your regex is wrong. "*" by itself doesn't do what you want;
it must be ".*". So it should be

hmm, I suspected that. however, the file is now listed under 'files'.  I
guess that's not enough?
It goes on the "files" display as soon as the client reports anything
about it. However, to apply any kind of action to the file data it 
must be recognized by hobbit-clients.cfg. That includes size checks and
tracking, which is why your size check doesn't trigger and the RRD file
doesn't exist.
