For this to work, "<RRD::TIME::NOW %c>" will have to be parsed
and processed by the rrdtool cgi program.  Perhaps you are not
running it?  Another reason might be that somehow rrdcgi is not
recognizing the string (hidden characters perhaps?)

I don't think Tobi recommended to use COMMENT if you want a TITLE.

and then adapt it to do what you want.
