Kobus is a short form of Jakobus - not a diminutive. If it were a diminutive, the name would have contained one of the Dutch diminutive suffixes, namely -je and -ke (resulting in respectively Kobusje and Kobuske).
Also see the entry for Cobus in the main database, where you did correctly state that the name is a short form (of Jacobus in this case).
