It's not a problem, it's correct and documented behavior.

All data is normalised to intervals whose end times are exact 
multiple of 'step' since unix epoch (midnight, 1st Jan 1970). RRD 
will NOT work to any other schedule of intervals.

00:00, 00:05, 00:10 are all multiples of 300s since unix epoch
00:03, 00:08, 00:13, 00:18 are not
