Below is what I ended up doing. It's working like a champ. It probably doesn't fit your environment exactly, but it may be of some help anyway.
My Hobbit server is Linux 2.6, the clients I'm pulling data from are Solaris 9. All running OpenSSH. The client domains are picked up on the Hobbit server via /etc/resolv.conf mechanism. Hobbit server has socks client installed and configured for our environment. ssh public keys were distributed from host to clients so ssh/scp will work without passwords being required.
The file "hobbitclient-custom.sh" you see below is nothing more than the standard hobbitclient.sh file with some stuff I didn't want stripped out. I modified the LOGFETCHCFG line to point to the "scripts" directory rather than the default "tmp" directory because I wanted to keep all my customized stuff in that scripts directory. I was so free to upload the 4 files to my twiki, I hope you don't mine. This is a nice solution to a problem that more then 1 person will encounter: http://www.docum.org/twiki/bin/view/Hobbit/PullingSshClient
