OK

What do you mean by summarized. (I don't recall your original post.)
Are you using a target line like
   target[sum]: 1:public...  + 2:public... +3:public... and so on
?

If so: maybe some piece of software is using 32-bit variables.  That
could mean the sum of all values is modulo 2^32.

Try to write your own grapher script for RRDtool.  This shouldn't
be too hard.

First have a look at the tutorial.  Then use several DEF statements
to collect info from all of the .rrd files and use CDEF to calculate
the total.  Graph this CDEF.

cheers,
