Ah, gotcha. I had misread, thought it was to check the hobbitd service on the client. I take it that 'hobbitd' is synonymous with 'bbd' then?
No, "bbd" checks the Hobbit daemon's network interface. "hobbitd" just provides some statistics about all of Hobbit, and goes red/yellow if any problems are logged to the hobbitd logfiles.
What happens if you run (on the Hobbit server): bb 208.86.11.149 "pullclient"
Absolutely nothing. Hrm. Checking the client's hobbitclient.log, I get lots of "Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout" The other logs have nothing interesting; successful startup, etc.
Where do I go next to track down the timeout?
Check the IP that your client is configured to send reports to. When you are using the msgcache/hobbitfetch combo, then BBDISP on your clients should be 127.0.0.1, instead of the IP of your real Hobbit server.
