Does this configuration look right?  I execute it at the prompt as the
cron job would and I don't get anything on my phone =(
That looks fine to me. Things you should double-check:

See if you can telnet from your bb server to port 80 of your phone (in
this case 172.16.0.152)
Make sure that the apache user can execute the bb command (in this
case /home/shire/server/bin/bb)
Make sure that the hobbit.cgi is accessible, and that its working
properly (from your browser go to http://74.218.x.x/perl/hobbit.cgi and
you should get some XML code back in your browser window)
do a tail -f of your apache access_log, and see if you get a hit from
the IPPhone when you run hobbit.cgi, you should see something like this:
10.216.100.54 - - [23/Mar/2008:04:21:36 -0700] "GET
/perl/hobbit.cgi?action=execute_push HTTP/1.1" 200 260 "-"
"Allegro-Software-WebClient/3.12"
