All,

I just spent way too much time too late at night to be doing this, trying to figure out why my CentOS 5.1 VM had a "clear" under the "msgs" column, despite having implemented the standard modification to hobbitclient.sh and put the proper entry in /etc/sudoers.

Well, I normally just provide the hobbit user with access to the relevant log files with standard unix permission changes.

E.g., on a default Fedora-like installation, this should be sufficient:

gpasswd -a hobbit adm

(although you could rather consider changing group ownership on the log files instead).
