When I start hobbit I get a few hundred lines of the following in / var/log/hobbitd.log.

How do I remove this?

That's odd.

The reason for the message is that Hobbit should never receive a status
message with color PURPLE. The purple status is generated internally by
the hobbitd daemon, so sending an explicit status update with color
purple is not allowed.

The only reason I can think of is that you're running an older version
of the bbgen utility. In the old days, when I was still using the
BB package, purple updates were generated as a result of building
the webpages - so running "bbgen" would trigger a stream of purple 
updates. But that should not happen with the current Hobbit-versions
of bbgen.

The "<unknown>.unknown" means that the host- and testnames don't match
anything Hobbit knows about.

If you cannot figure out where this comes from, you can try running 
hobbitd with the "--trace-all" option; this will cause hobbitd to log
all incoming messages to files in the tmp/ directory. You shouldn't run
with that enabled for very long, obviously.

Henrik

Could this have something to do with the  Task bbnet terminated by  
signal 6 issue? This is the same box.

I don't think so. At least, I cannot see how these two could be related.
