The syntax is 
 rrdtool update filename
                --template|-t ds-name:ds-name:...
                time|N:value[:value...]

                at-time at value[:value...]

                [ time:value[:value...] ..]

In your case system("rrdtool update test_data.rrd N:1:2");
or, if you want to name your variables:
system("rrdtool update test_data.rrd -t a:b N:1:2");

probably:
system(sprintf("rrdtool update test_date.rrd N:%d:%d",ret1,ret2));
