The "hobbitd" daemon which receives the status messages reloads the bb-hosts file at regular intervals (at the same time as dumping the checkpoint file). When you edit the bb-hosts file, it won't notice until it has reloaded the file - and that might be a few minutes away.
You can force a reload by sending a HUP signal to the hobbitd proces; eg on Linux do "killall -HUP hobbitd". See the SIGNALS section of the hobbitd(8) man-page.
