I have had this problem in the past, and have found that if the delta
(the
difference in the readings 5 mins apart) is greater than MAXBYTES, MRTG
will
zero the stats. The first line in your log has values, which implies
that MRTG
is getting the SNMP info successfully.

Try increasing your MAXBYTES...
