Good practice is to only answer if there's something to say. Perhaps
nobody knows what's going on?

You just gobbly gooked the relevant part out.

If it looks like
  219  ?  R    0:00 /home/mrtg/run//rateup /home/mrtg/public_html/router/
router.outside 962834416 u 2261292299 3445440742 32000 c #00cc00 #0000ff
#006600 #ff00ff k 1000 i router.outside-day.gif 32000 32000 600  100 1 1
1 300 1

then it's okay.

Also on the first line?  Are you sure MRTG is monitoring the right
interface?  Do you use 32-bit counters?  What is returned by
snmpget router public .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.<insert the number that
is included in the config file here> ?

If you receive zeros from the device, perhaps because the config file
was not created correctly, there's nothing to graph and the logfile
behaves as you descibe.

Try setting debug mode to 1 and maybe you spot something that's failing.
