Disk test not working properly

I have an Intel SLES9 system running the Hobbit 4.2 client with the 
all-in-one patch applied.  A filesystem went above the yellow threshhold 
and although I changed hobbit-clients.cfg to increase the yellow value, 
it still appears yellow and says that the threshhold is 90 (the default).

Here is the setting in hobbit-clients.cfg:

HOST=goveritas
         DISK /remote 95 98

Here is the data on the disk screen for goveritas:

yellow /remote (93% used) has reached the WARNING level (90%)

What is also peculiar is that the 'client data' link does not appear 
above the graph:

If you read hobbit-clients.cfg you will see:

# Rules are evaluated from the top of this file and down, and the first  # matching rule is used. So you should put the specific rules first, and # the generic rules last.                                                
So your rule should be before:

DISK * 90 95

Seems so. I do not know about C-programming, but in client_config.c I find
90 and 95 ;)

It's just very odd, because unless you're running hobbitd with the
undocumented "--no-clientlog" option, then a disk status must have the
"Client data available" link. 

Could you try running (as the hobbit user) 

$ bbcmd hobbitd_client --test
2006-10-26 22:53:28 Using default environment file /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: MYHOSTNAME
Hosttype []:
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): disk
Filesystem: /home
Yellow at 90%, red at 95%

to see what the configuration ends up being ?

Also, does the command

   bb 127.0.0.1 "clientlog MYHOSTNAME"

return any data ?
