There is no "--step", something you probably want.
The default of 300 seconds is now used.

The heartbeat is set to 3600 so you need updates >at_most< 3600
seconds apart.

First RRA: 9600 rows, each 300 seconds, 2880000 seconds total.
This is 33 days 8 hours.

Second RRA: 9600 rows, each (24*300) seconds, 69120000 seconds total,
800 days (about 2 years 2 months).

Third RRA: 6000*720*300=15000 days = 41 years 25 days.

Is this correct?  That depends on your needs.  It could be correct
yet I find it highly unlikely.

And what time is "N" ?  And the next "N" ?  How far are they apart?

What is in the database when you "rrdtool dump your.db > your.xml" ?

I think you need to go back to the drawing board.
