[mrtg] MRTG Not updating after upgrade

[Noob Centos Admin]

I was running MRTG 2.15.2 on Centos 5.2 without problems for a while.
Over the weekend, I updated Centos to 5.3 and somehow it broke MRTG.

I started getting emails from crond with the following errors

2009-07-12 08:45:02: WARNING: Problem with External get
'/var/www/html/mrtg/core/system network eth0':
   Expected a Number for 'in' but got 'p'

2009-07-12 08:45:02: ERROR: Target[index][_IN_] ' $target->[0]{$mode}
' did not eval into defined data


The graphs were still updating at this point, however I didn't really
want to see error mails every 5 minutes, nor did I think it would be
smart to simply redirect crond output to null for mrtg.

After searching and reading, I updated mrtg to 2.16.2 as well as added
the parameters ENV LANG=C to the crontab line.

After this, MRTG stopped updating the statistics logs. However, there
are no error messages whatsoever.

I've tried installing net-snmp, tested it was working then enabled
snmpv3 but doesn't seem to help

I've even changed all permissions in /var/html/mrtg to 555 just in
case it was some strange permissions issue.

The file mrtg.ok is updated on every run but zero length.

Config file contents (without comment lines):
WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg/core
Logdir: /var/www/html/mrtg
Interval: 5
Options[_]: bits, growright
EnableSnmpV3: yes


crontab line :
*/5 * * * * root env LANG=C /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg
/var/www/html/mrtg/core/mrtg.cfg --logging /var/log/mrtg.log

entry in log:
 2009-07-12 11:35:02 -- Started mrtg with config
'/var/www/html/mrtg/core/mrtg.cfg'

Every single entry is just that, I'm not sure if there should be a
line that says "Ended mrtg" or something to that effect.

I'll appreciate any help on solving this, thanks in advanced!
