The data in log is correct, but it looks like option gauge is emitted :-/
After first start of mrtg log is ok, but after next runs log looks like:
1007769601 0 0
1007769601 0 0 0 0
1007769343 2 2 3 3
1007769300 0 0 0 0
1007769000 0 0 0 0
1007768700 0 0 0 0
1007768400 0 0 0 0
During all time of test values from script were equal to 3.
As I understand, such log can be when mrtg uses values as incremental
counters. I've run mrtg with debugging and seen what rateup is called 
properly(with flag g), but rotating isn't correct :-(.
