Just an educated guess, which could be wrong:
Maybe your source is in kilobytes, and you should multiply it by 1000, or 1024, whichever is appropriate?
Look at your log files to see what numbers you are getting, it is probably enough to determine if my guess is correct.
If it is correct, append " * 1000" (without the quotation marks) to your target. (or " * 1024).  Mind the spaces, I think they are important.

Also look http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-reference.en.html#kilo_CONTENT and the rest of that document.
