The 600 is the value for 'heartbeat'. From rrdcreate(1):

   heartbeat defines the maximum number of
   seconds that may pass between two updates of
   this data source before the value of the data
   source is assumed to be *UNKNOWN*.

Make heartbeat allways bigger than step, maybe 4000 in this case.

(Maybe rrdtool shouldn't accept heartbeat settings lower than step?)
