Maybe I'm just a little sleep deprived, but I thought that if a machine had
a disk slice that didn't have
an explicit DISK <blah> line defined for it, it would use the rule as
defined in the DEFAULT section.
However, I have a bunch of machines that apparently are _not_ using the rule
as defined in the
DEFAULT section.  Below is a copy of the relevant parts of the DEFAULT
section (at the very bottom of the hobbit-clients.cfg file)

DEFAULT
   <other non-related DISK IGNORE rules>
   DISK    %^/archive[0-9]* IGNORE
   DISK    * 90 95

I know technically the "DISK *" should probably be "DISK .*", but I thought
that's how it was by default.
Am I just wrong with my PCRE?

Try this:
DISK   %^\/archive[0-9]   IGNORE

Note that will also ignore things like /archive10, /archive30, etc. so 
if you want to ONLY ignore 0-9, you need to use this (assuming paths 
like /archiveXX):
DISK   %^\/archive[0-9]$   IGNORE

P.S. Your main problem was not escaping the /

Yup, I want to ignore anything /archiveN...N

I thought for sure I had stuff working correctly without \/, but I'll give
it a try and see if that helps.  Maybe these were never working right in the
first place and I just never noticed.
