Kyle,

You don't mention whether HPOV is running on the same box as MRTG.  If not, have
you verified SNMP capability on the MRTG box.

Another possibility is that you are running MRTG 2.8.x but are not on the latest
version (.5 or .6 I think).  Tobi mentioned some OID parsing issues in some of
the earlier 2.8 versions.
