[mrtg] mrtg problem!

I would like to take this second to say thank you in advanced, I think MRTG
is an awesome tool for monitoring endless things, I've used it for years.

But recently, I decided I'd take it a little further than just using it to
monitor my bandwidth, I found a HOW-TO on using it to monitor memory swap,
cpu, etc... well the config file I was basically "copying" off of, used the
program 'system' to get the bandwidth information, so I decided to change
the option to use SNMP basically, and it started working great today.  But
it seems like I changed the Options tab from what it was before (I have it
commented out when I paste it in a second) on the old config, and changed it
to bits, growright... well prior to doing that, all my graphs worked, but
some of them were going from left to right, versus right to left ... then
all of a sudden a few of my graphs quit working all together.  I probably
worked on getting it transferred for about 4 hours last night, from just the
plain bandwidth to monitoring other things, and I love the concept, but I
feel stumped on it.

Below is my config file, and my mrtg graph can be viewed at
http://okcinfo.net/mrtg if needed, I was HOPING I could get some assistance
with my problem!

Thank you again!!
