"man rrdfetch" for -r reads

 [...] will return data even if no absolute match is possible

I think "absolute match" does not refer to the specified
resolution like you'd think but rather the start/end times.

In other words, the fetch start and end have to exactly align
on a daily boundry.  For example, I find that (with MRTG-ish
RRAs) using

 -r 86400 -s -2days -e -1day 

will fetch 86400 second resolution data 

But

 -r 86400 -s -25hours -e -1hour

fetches 7200 second resolution data.


Having said that, I can't explain why I find that 

 -r 86400 -s -86400 -e now 

returns 300 second interval resolution data?!
