Problem solved ... You don't want to know ... yes you do, I would.
When I installed I entered the wrong IP address for the server. I was not thorough when correcting my mistake and only changed the IP in the bb-host file, I forgot all bout the hobbitserver.cfg file.
Sorry wild goose chase.

OK, this is a complete webpage, it just doesn't have any hosts on it. Which is consistent with what you'd get when bbgen cannot query the Hobbit server for the current status.

OK, try running it with the "--debug" option added. It dumps a lot of output, but you should find something like this:

The "recipient" setting is taken from the BBDISP setting in hobbitserver.cfg - this must be the correct IP of your Hobbit server.
Is there any indication that the "hobbitd" process has crashed? It will restart automatically, but do check for core-files in ~hobbit/data/tmp/, or the process creation timestamp of the "hobbitd" proces. And the hobbitlaunch.log file will also tell if it has restarted hobbit.
