These numbers should be visible in the first line of the log file when
MRTG queried the target.  

First step from now should be to verify that these numbers are collected.
Depending on the result of this first step you can continue debugging.

For instance:
- The numbers are visible.  In that case find out why they aren't being
  moved to the rest of the log (MaxBytes is a usual suspect).
- The numbers aren't visible.  In that case find out why a manual snmp
  get does work while MRTG doesn't.

Let MRTG print some debugging information at strategic places such as
right after the snmp get call.  Print the rateup command with parameters
and manually check the numbers on that line.  And so on.
