Have you tried using the OID's for used and free space under Linux?

.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.7.1  (disk free)
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.8.1  (disk used)

pc-linux% snmpwalk -v1 -c private 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.7.1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::dskAvail.1 = INTEGER: 249252
pc-linux% snmpwalk -v1 -c private 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.8.1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::dskUsed.1 = INTEGER: 1479788

I graph "disk total vs disk used", which works fine. My Target looks like:

--
Target[disk]: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.6.1&.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.8.1:community at 1.2
.3.4

If you think MRTG is having issues graphing the data your Perl script is 
fetching, what do you have "MaxBytes" set to? It may be the values being 
returned are higher than MaxBytes and are thereforre being cutoff. Just a 
thought.


Regards,
Brett.
