There are two bugs introduced is Ubuntu Hardy. The two bugs are fixed in Intrepid. Here is a little list providing a temporary solution until it gets fixed in Hardy two.

First set the hobbit server address:

$ sudo nano /etc/default/hobbit-client

Then insert the code below in start section of /etc/init.d/hobbit-client:

#/////////////////////////////////////////////////
# Create hobbitclient PIDDIR
if [ -d /var/run -a ! -d /var/run/hobbit ]; then
        mkdir -p /var/run/hobbit
        chown hobbit.hobbit /var/run/hobbit
fi

# Set the right rights
if [ -d /var/lib/hobbit/tmp ]; then
        chown -R hobbit.hobbit /var/lib/hobbit/tmp
        chown -R hobbit.hobbit /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp
fi

# Include hobbitclient defaults if available
if [ -f /etc/default/hobbit-client ] ; then
        . /etc/default/hobbit-client
fi
