You're mis-interpreting what obfit does. It operates in 3D coordinates. So what 
you're doing is okay - but if you then generate a PNG, you've thrown away the 
3D coordinates.

If you want to see if obfit is operating correctly, open the resulting file in 
PyMol or Avogadro or some similar 3D viewer.

If you want to highlight a SMARTS pattern in a depiction, you want something 
different:

Hope that helps,
