It was Henrik that dispensed his usual accurate advice, but I was going to suggest that probably an older version of bb or hobbit was running ;-)

Thanks Charles. Now that I've exposed my utter stupidity. Someone (that someone would be ME a few months ago) had installed big SISTER on this machine and yes it was running on port 1984. Bye-bye bs , hello hobbit.
Thanks again. Everything is running with green smiles...

I verified that the host exists in bb-hosts. This is what I get in the log when I attempt to start hobbit. I've checked permissions and anything else I could think of, but nothing looks out of place.

Well, something is using port 1984 then.
What does a "netstat -na | grep 1984" say ?
If this is a Linux box, try running (as root) "netstat -ntlp | grep 1984" That should give you the proces-ID and name of the program listening on port 1984.
