May I suggest a perusal of the MRTG documentation, with particular emphasis
on the "mrtg.ok" file (which might even be in the part of the error message
you did not quote, come to think of it), where it turns out that MTRG stashes
the ifDescr for use in generating the whine you see when it changes.

If you are abslolutely certain that the right thing is being monitored, delete
the line appropriate in [config-file-base-name].ok  that the right thing is
being monitored, delete the line appropriate in [config-file-base-name].ok
