It's not the time you've spent, but the experience you gain, the knowledge you have, how FAST you can pump out quality product, the ability to make every session a success, the ability to make everything you touch in audio sound better than it should have, as well as the ability to not mess up something that is already good.
A good sign that you are no longer a newbie is when people you don't know start asking you to record them, mix them or master them because they heard your work. You KNOW you aren't a noob when people start paying you to do audio.
IMHO the jump between good hobbyist and professional is pretty huge. If you can make money off recording you're doing well.

I've been at this in one way or another for 15 years or so and sometimes I *still* feel like a "newbie." The learning never stops. If it ever does, I think it's time to quit.

'cause your dead. I haven't been doing this for 15 years, but I've been recording myself in one form or another for about 8 years. I'm still a newbie. It's not something to be ashamed of. We all have to start at the beginning. Like Cloneboy says, you'll know when you are no longer a newbieMassive Master said:

Well m'boy, today is your lucky day!
I just happened to be selling personalized 'Newbie Graduation Certificates' to hang on your wall just like the professionals wish they had!
Just think, for $49.99 (US), you can bypass the grueling years most people put in slaving over a mixing console, or dealing with irrational ego's of rock 'stars' and elevate your status in the recording engineer herd WITHIN MINUTES!
Don't dely, order yours today!

I think newb can also be attributed to comfort, if you feel completely comfortable and at ease with all the knowledge you have obtained through countless nights of sleepless recording, mixing, mastering, e-mailing, and talking to other pros and newbs alike for five months, then yes, you are in fact a NEWBIE.
Understanding and knowledge is all it takes. But I guess were all newbs in the end.
