Two other things you can try.
I recall there was a version of Hobbit, a good few years back, where the hobbitserver.cfg setting didn't actually work. I had to change the size in the code and recompile - but it is unlikely you are using such a venerable version.
I have also seen that sometimes Windoze servers spew logs of unfathomable size. Even changing the hobbitserver.cfg settings did not help. This is more likely your situation. We ended up having to limit the contents of the log files. To do this, I added some entries to client-local.cfg on the Hobbit/Xymon server. [HOST1,HOST2,HOST3] eventlog:security ignore 0 eventlog:application ignore BigBrotherHobbitClient|information
From my limited understanding of how Windoze works, I believe this excluded application event logs regarding the BBWin client and application information logs, as well as any security related event logs with a 0 return code - which was our main problem - heaps of status 0 security messages.
YMMV.

Thanks. I think that windows was to blame. I got the owner off the machine to reboot it and hobbitd hasn't complained since.
