Well, below the graph MRTG says 'Current: -3.7dB' so I'm assuming it's graphing
the same value it's displaying as current. The value is actually returned as -37, I'm
dividing by 10. Is there a reason MRTG would graph a value other than what it
displays as current?

I'm using gauge - here's a quick example of the important parts of configuration file 
that's pulling the data.

Options[target]: growright,nobanner,nolegend,nopercent,gauge
Unscaled[target]: dwmy
Maxbytes[target]: 60
Target[target]: downstreamOID&downstreamOID:snmpkey at target / 10

The data is being pulled from a cable modem. The reason I didn't think it was
an .rrd issue is that MRTG is displaying, correctly, avg, current and max
values.
