Thanks, this did the trick ;)

That isn't working in this case.. the logfile exists on all hosts, but not 
on host13. So on that server BB comes with the message "/var/log/logfile 
has vanished."

using hostgroups in the $BBHOME/etc/bb-* configfiles would be a great 
enhancement for BB 2.0 (hint for Sean ;))
