Are you sure? Have you verified this with a dump?
Please make sure if there is in fact a problem with the database.

If you are generating graphics from the new RRA, you can expect NaNs
to appear: the data that would normally be generated from RRAs 2 and 3
will now be generated from RRAs 0 and 1.  The newly added rows in the
database are NaN.

Gradually increase the RRD will work, add 288 rows each day.

You may get good results without above work around by specifying
well-choosen start and end times:
- start time should be a multiple of 30 minutes
- end time ditto
- the difference between start and end time, divided by 30 minutes,
  should equal the number of pixels in the graph

Example:
now == Mon Apr 23 04:25:42 CEST 2001
I'd choose "--end 987991200" (Mon Apr 23 04:00:42 CEST 2001)
and "--start end-720000" (400 pixels times 30 min. times 60 sec.)
and "--width 400"

I'm not entirely sure this helps, but I give it a good chance.

cheers,
