Yesterday I wrote a small C prog to make a connection with hobbitd, bump
a given file into hobbit and disconnect.  Is that what bbnet is doing
here?
No, bbnet is the Big Brother tool that performs network
tests. BB-Central uses it to check if the SSH daemon on each server is
running, so as to avoid trying to connect to ssh on a server that is
down.
If so, how do I feed hobbit graphing parameters?  I am getting the
status, setting color and a bdf, for instance, but I can't figure out
how to feed hobbit parms to graph.
For the standard tests (cpu, disk, memory, network) you shouldn't need
to do anything. As soon as you send those data to Hobbit, they get
graphed.
