No, it's quite possible that you've found the real problem.
Adding the ntp test causes bbtest-net to run "ntpdate". If that command hangs, bbtest-net will stall waiting for it to complete. So if ntpdate never completes, your network tests will stop being updated because it is waiting forever for this command to complete.
That makes sense. What options does hobbit use for ntpdate to check an ntp server? I want to run it by hand and see what happens.
ntpdate -u -q -p 2 HOSTNAME
