clientupdate and bbproxy

I'm having a problem with the interaction between clientupdate and bbproxy. On our test LAN I have an instance of bbproxy set up which forwards all the incoming messages to the development section of my main Hobbit server. The problem arises because bbproxy is unable to handle the clientupdate procedure. The logfetch.hostname.cfg file is not being created, which means that the "msgs" column is always clear. Is there anyway around this? You can't just place the logfetch...cfg file int the tmp directory, because clientupdate will just erase it before it determines that it has nothing to replace it with.

Thanks, Larry Barber
