The way this is behaving though it almost looks like xymon is failing to send a green status when things are running. I say this because restarting the server and service with the lines for central management all commented out still leaves me with a purple status for hobbitd_client, but an updated time on the page for the current or previous time stamp.
The "hobbitd_client" status must be dropped manually. It usually does not exist, it is only generated when the hobbitd_client program crashes. You need to send a "drop" request to remove it:
bb 127.0.0.1 "drop myhobbitserver hobbitd_client"
About the crash itself, this points to a bug in the bbwin-handler of hobbitd_client. I haven't dug into it myself, but perhaps the bbwin folks will provide a solution (they wrote the code) ...
