Moving the % fixed the problem. Thanks for the help and tip.

Robert,
Please try change the HG definition as:$HG-WinSvrsCrit=%nyc(app1|dc1|dc2|ex1|ex03|fs1|fs2|time).domain.com
Observe that the "%" is the first char and this indicates that your using perl regex. With this change your host group should work fine.Werner is right here - the "%" must be first, it's only mission is to tell Hobbit to treat this as a regular expression instead of a simple text string.
For debugging regular expressions, I routinely use the info-page display (which shows clearly whether a host/test is matched or not), but also the "pcretest" tool that comes with the pcre library. Like this:
$ pcretest PCRE version 4.5 01-December-2003
re> /nyc(app1|dc1|dc2|ex1|ex03|fs1|fs2|time).domain.com/ data> nycdc2.domain.com 0: nycdc2.domain.com 1: dc2 data> nycdc4.domain.com No match
