Where did you get this version from?
The latest that I could find on CTAN was 6.82f .
Your test file worked fine on my MacBook with this...

  ... but there was no loading of these:

>>> (/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/hobsub-hyperref.sty
>>> (/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/hobsub-generic.sty
>>> ! Undefined control sequence.
>>> l.3814 \@PackageInfoNoLine
>>>                         {etexcmds}{%


This seems to be where the error lies.
So unless Heiko gave you a special update --- to solve a problem that
you faced, and no-one else knows about --- then go back down to  6.82f .
Maybe that will give you a fully consistent setup.

Is there a link where we can see the output from your system?
It would seem to be an automated way to produce test papers
or quizzes, similar to our MacQTeX system.

    http://rutherglen.ics.mq.edu.au/~macqtex/   

Maybe there is stuff there that we can learn from each other.
We run on a Mac OSX server.
