[mrtg] Indexmaker woes

Alas, another newbie question more than likely :(

I just started using MRTG and have been successful in getting mrtg to 
collect data on three of our routers, and when looking at the subsequent 
html pages it generates, they all look just fine. However, when I run 
indexmaker, all I get is the MRTG banner data and a page with basically no 
body.

If I run the indexmaker command by hand, I get the following error:

/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/indexmaker --columns=1 --filter title=~64.210.184 \
      --title="Global Center"                                            \
      --output=/home/fireclick/www/groups/noc/GlobalCenter.html          \
      /usr/local/mrtg-2/mrtg.cfg
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/indexmaker line 174.
--base: Writing /home/fireclick/www/groups/noc/GlobalCenter.html

Inspecting the perl code in indexmaker, this is assigning some text to the 
variable $index (if memory serves). I have tried putting ECHO in single 
quote, double quotes, back quotes and even changing the ECHO tag to 
something else without success.

I have tried various --filter logic, have removed the --columns=1, changed 
--columns greater than 2, etc. I've scanned the FAQ for a remedy here, but 
haven't had a lot of luck.

The applicable bit from the mrtg.cfg file is:

### Interface 1 >> Descr: 'FastEthernet0/0' | Name: 'Fa0/0' | Ip: 
'64.209.183.10
0' | Eth: '00-01-96-d3-8e-e0' ###

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong here?
