Today you sent me mail regarding RE: [rrd-users] No data man:

*> Thanks for the timely response, Tobi. The data I'm parsing is simply a
*> colon-separated list of  values. Here is an example:
*> 
*> someplc:switched:43
*> thisplc:switched:142
*> anothplc:switched:25
*> notaplc:dedicated:12
*> nearaplc:dedicated:8
*> bytheplc:dedicated:11
*> 
*> also, I have attached a portion of the truss output (truss-file.txt). I
hope
*> you can get more out of it than I did...

well that looks fine as well ... 

a question are you trying to fetch right after the first update ?
this wont work ... you will only see data after the second update
or rather after the second step interval has passed ... 

cheers
