It looks like the current working directory for the shell session no longer exists.
[root at home dir2]# mkdir /tmp/dir1;mkdir /tmp/dir1/dir2;cd /tmp/dir1/dir2;rmdir /tmp/dir1/dir2;rmdir /tmp/dir1;man 3 getcwd shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
There may be other scenarios, but every time I've had a panicky sysadmin ask me about this, the current working directory has been removed. Often happens with a "rpm -e" while you're in one of the directories created by the rpm.

I'm in no way an expert on the Hobbit Client, but you seem to want an answer, so I'll oblige.
It looks like you have a configuration/permissions error on the client you've installed this on. This could be for many reasons, but if it were me I would start looking at file permissions of things you are looking at on that server.
You may also have it configured to be looking for a directory or file that doesn't exist. Just a guess.
Happy hunting.
