This isn't correct.

The PREV value is replaced by 0 when unknown (or at least that's
the intention).  However, what happens if "FromDEV" is unknown ?

I doubt that "IF" will do the right thing here.  The source for
1.1.x doesn't seem to check for unknowns and even worse, it seems
to handle them as "true".  Better make sure and use then "UN"
statement here.

There is, and the provided CDEF is a good starting point.  Just
debug it.

I still think you should let RRDtool do the math.  You only need
to find out what amount of time is graphed.
