Evan,

I don't fully understand the problem, especially if you are getting
rrdtool error messages and you don't think you're using it.  But, at the
risk of inviting charges of heresy, why don't you just ditch MRTG?  I
think it's time has come and gone.  I didn't use it precisely because I
didn't fully understand how it worked, or at least I thought it was
complex or inelegant enough that I didn't care.  No offense, but it sounds
like you may be in over your head.  I've been there many times.

I'm on OS X 10.4 also, and I run NRG, an RRDtool frontend.  It is a
DarwinPorts package now and it installs NRG, the latest RRDtool and all
dependencies automatically with one command.  Then you just edit one file
and put your switches and routers in it and it creates your graph config
files and manages the web pages automatically.  Take a look and see if it
might be easier to learn a more modern SNMP grapher than to learn what's
wrong with your old one.  Here's a HOWTO if it helps:
