Hmm.. Well, since you are pretty experienced you have probably checked the obvious places. I would check to make sure that the Xymon server knows these hosts by these names, and not by a shorter version (without the domain name).
And you know that the hobbit-clients.cfg bits are exclusive to Xymon and will not work with Big Brother clients -- Big Brother does not know how to send the necessary data to Xymon for interpretation. You have to use Xymon clients for this (which leaves you stuck with Windows machines unless the BBWin client supports this now).

Neither of the first three HOST are taking effect. I'm looking at the bb.html page and seeing PROC (for three) stating "clear No process checks defined" and similar with one and two.
However on an bbc 1.9i btf (better then free) client it is pushing PROCs to the server:
#cat ~bbuser/bbc1.9i-btf/etc/bbwarnsetup.cfg: ... PROCS="bbrun" # (YELLOW) WARN IF NOT RUNNING PAGEPROC="cron" # (RED) PAGE IF NOT RUNNING export PROCS PAGEPROC ...
