Which versions are you using, and which library functions are you calling?  There are the rrd_*_r threadsafe functions and the other rrd_* ones (which are not threadsafe).  Also the rrdc_* function are (I think) threadsafe. 

Since you are always using the caching daemon, maybe you can call rrdc_flush or rrdc_flushall which would be threadsafe?
