No '--end' so use the default of 'now'.  'Now' is almost always later than
the last update time of the database, you may want to change that.

[snip 8 times DEF:       {servers,players}{avg,max,min,last}]
[snip 6 DEFs being used: {servers,players}{avg,max,last}]

This will not be the source of the problem, but why graph 6 out of 8 ?

[snip similar RRAs but with {max,min,last}]

There should always be enough PDPs available in the RRA with 1 PDP per CDP.
I've looked at the RRA selection mechanism and cannot see why it would
select another RRA.  I even ran a test program, using various values for
start,end and for last update of the database.  It always returned RRA 0.

In other words: no bug found.  If there is one, I couldn't find it.

Perhaps this solves your problem: do specify '--end', let it be a whole
multiple of 300 and let it be in the past, not in the future.

Alternatively: specify '--end now-300 --start end-10800'.
