This means you can graph upto 336 days, at 24 hours per sample point.
If you need to graph in a better resolution, you can graph less time.
At the finest resolution you can only graph from (now-1h) to (now).

This database looks well enough to me, unless of course you try to
graph more than 336 days.

Find out what it is that fails.  First make >>>>sure<<<< you aren't
looking at cached images.  This is the #1 reason for "errors".

You could use "rrdtool dump" to dump the database into a somewhat
human-readable format.  Check if the data is inserted properly.

Depending on the outcome of this, troubleshooting needs to continue.
