29587538944 6866023424 are the most recent values received,
0 0 0 0 is indicating that the rate is 0.
As you can see the second line has four entries whereas the first
line has only two.  This is correct and is not a result of storing
another input value.

This second line is a calculation, obviously this fails.

You do have gauge as an option so I'd expect this to work.  Perhaps
the numbers are too big for mrtg to handle, perhaps there are some
problematic characters in the output.

Try altering the script so that it returns small values and see if
that comes through.  If so, you may have to report kilobytes.
