The rrdtool manual mentions this:

<snip>
Consider now that you want too fetch the 15 minute average 
data for last hour. So you might try
rrdtool fetch subdata.rrd AVERAGE -r 900 -s -1h

However, this will almost always result in a time series that 
is NOT in the 15 minute RRA. Therefore the highest resolution RRA, 
i.e. 5 minute averages, will be chosen which, in this case, is not what
you want.

Hence, make sure that
	both start and end time are a multiple of 900 
	both start and end time are within the wanted RRA 
<snip>

As Alex mentioned, -s end -7d may be a better option,
but you say that doesn't work.

If you are calling your fetch command from a script, you may also
try something like -s int(`date+%s` / 86400) to make sure the first
requirement is met.

Serge.
