Problem with remotely issuing a bb hobbit "drop host test" command
I am trying to issue the following command from a client server
/bin/bb hobbitserver "drop hostname testname"
But on the hobbit server I am getting the following error:
2009-05-01 09:25:00 Refused message from a.b.c.d: drop hostname testname
Any help with this would be great!

man 8 hobbitd: --admin-senders=IP[/MASK][,IP/MASK] Controls which hosts may send administrative commands to hobbitd. These commands are the "drop" and "rename" commands. Access to these should be restricted, since they provide an un-authenticated means of completely disabling monitoring of a host, and can be used to remove all traces of e.g. a system compromise from the Xymon monitor.
Is this the problem / solution ?

It sounds like you're looking for the '--admin-senders' option for hobbit as defined in your hobbitlaunch.cfg file. The default restricts admin commands to localhost only. If you want to send admin commands from a remote host to the hobbit server, you'll need to append the remote ip to --admin-senders
man hobbitd and look for --admin-senders for details.
The --admin-senders is what I was looking for! Thanks to those that responded!
